Running for Anya - Manchester 10k 2013!
Sarah Connolly is raising money for Solving Kids’ Cancer UK
Story
Hi everyone,
Just for Anya, I’m moving up a gear from powerwalking and will be running the Manchester Great Run 10k on Sunday 26 May 2013.
Usually when I do something for sponsorship it is for a ‘faceless’ charity but with this appeal there is a (very pretty!) face behind it.
Anya is the same age as my son Liam (March 11 babies!) and every time I look at him I think about what Anya’s family must be going through, and wish that I could give Anya a life free from all the hospital stuff she’s dealing with.
Little Anya is incredibly brave in facing what she has to face, and throwing myself around a 10k course is nothing in comparison but even so, please please support me, and in turn support Anya by giving whatever you can to my page!
If anyone can hold an event for Anya and donate the proceeds either to my page or to the main Appeal4anya page that would be fantastic too.
Thank you!

"Anya has neuroblastoma, a frighteningly aggressive childhood cancer. She has already had lots of cancer treatments in the UK and has done really well so far. Now Anya’s best chance of beating the disease lie in America. The treatment Anya will receive in the United States is not available in the same format in the UK, where anti-GD2 and IL2, or just anti-GD2 alone, are given as part of a randomised trial. The proposed treatment and associated costs of £250,000 will not be funded by the NHS which is why Anya needs everybody's help."
