On the 20th August Maria, Zoe and Sarah will be running, jumping, crawling and sliding their way through the obstacles at the 10k Filthy Girl Mud Run. On the way round they will be treating to a lovely mud mask before heading to the massive slippery slide which will plunge them into a giant bubble bath! There will also be a spray tan zone ....but we think it might not be as nice as it sounds!!!!!!!

They are doing this not only for the champagne and party at the end (which will be well deserved) but ultimately they want to help The Lily Foundation in memory of Jacob Wright who was lost to Mitochondrial Disease at just 16 months in April 2012.

The Lily Foundation do three things;

1.    Support families affected by Mitochondrial Disease
2.    Raise vital awareness of this cruel disease that takes too many lives far too early
3.    Fund vital research into better diagnosis, treatment and ultimately a cure

You can find out more here: http://www.thelilyfoundation.org.uk/

Jacob's family and friends including this amazing Trio want to make sure other families are not torn apart by this disease that can effect anyone at any age if they are born with a genetic mutation that causes it.

-Every 20 minutes a child is born who will develop mitochondrial disease by the age of 16.
-It a cruel disease that can affect any organ in the body.
- It is a life limiting condition that takes children too often too quickly.
- No treatment, no cure.

Maria, Zoe and Sarah are doing the hard bit - they just need your support! Please donate just a few pounds to help them fight for cure. Please donate by this page or text FGMR99 £5 to 70070 to donate £5
