Thanks for visiting our JustGiving page. Here's a little bit on why we're running...

Hayley

I started running in May with my wonderful friend Vicky. It started off as just a bit of excercise and has now grown into a passion. I've lost weight and now got fit!

I had been looking for a challenge for a while and following a conversation with my friend, I decided to run the Bupa Great Birmingham Run, a half marathon and thought I'd rope Vicky along for the ride. 

We're running for a charity called Cure Leukaemia. This amazing charity provided my friends dad with the medication he needed to keep him alive during his fight against this dreadful disease. Earlier this year he sadly lost his battle making our efforts even more important than ever.

This amazing charity has truly inspired me to do my bit. All funds raised work under the 'Power of 10' rule. This means that all funds donated work 10 times as hard providing us with the opportunity to find a cure faster.

I like taking on new challenges and participating in the Birmingham Half Marathon has given me something positive to focus on and train for. Since losing my mum I enjoy looking for new ways to keep me busy and positive. Running is a great escape that allows me to be with myself and inner thoughts.

I’m not a naturally talented runner and I only began running in May for the first time since my school! Running 3 times a week has improved my fitness and wellbeing.

My friend Hayley suggested we ran for a charity, Cure Leukaemia, I immediately said yes. We now have two huge very important challenges ahead of us, running a race and more importantly raising money and awareness to help cure a truly devastating illness.
