Mary Best is raising money for The Children's Trust

Royal Parks Half Marathon 2008 · 12 October 2008 ·

Every year we support thousands of children and families right across the country. We provide rehabilitation to help children make the best recovery possible after a serious accident or illness, both at our national specialist centre in Tadworth and in the community.

Story

I want to raise money for the Children's Trust because I have a friend who had a rare condition causing a cerebral bleed in February 2007.  Her name is Chloe and she was 14 at the time.  Overnight she went from being a normal teenager to someone who could barely walk and talk.  I visited her at Great Ormond Street Hospital and was deeply shocked to find her so helpless in her wheelchair.  Luckily for her, she was offered a place at the Children't Trust.  They provided her with a rehabilitation programme that enabled her to walk, talk, ride horses, shop, plan events, and laugh.  With their help, she is today a confident, outgoing, clothes loving NORMAL teenager.

Please help me to support the valuable work they do by generously sponsoring me on the 12th October 2008 when I am slogging through 13.5 miles around London's Royal Parks.

Thank you so much! XXX
