My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Team Ellie initially started with six of us who are friends from the Chepstow area and we have been joined by many others who were keen to help. We all met when our eldest children were born. They are now 4 and a half. One of them (Ellie) was recently diagnosed with cancer, and is being treated at the Children's Hospital for Wales. We have found that this has affected us all more than we could have imagined and we have felt powerless to do anything meaningful to help either Ellie or her parents. We wish we could take it all away, but as we can't we have decided to take the positive action of running 5k in the St David's Day run on March 4th to raise money for the Noah's Ark Appeal, which is the hospital's official charity. For some of us this will be no mean feat (Hari), whilst for others it will be a walk in the park (Tess!). The main thing is we intend to do it together. We know that times are hard, so any amount that you could give would be greatfully received.

The money raised will benefit many children and their families who are unfortunate enough to be suffering with cancer. We set our original target at £1000 but smashed through this before the end of January. A huge thank you to those that made that possible. We decided to increase our target, partly because we have been joined by so many more runners! Help us smash the £2k barrier - we would love to have an excuse to raise out target again!!

Our team is: Suzy Lawn, Tessa Legg, Abbe Opher, Sarah Al-Nuaimi, Cara Hill, Sharon Jones, Anna Marshall, Rosalind Wadsworth, Hari Fell, Mhairi Hamilton- Davies, Sarah Jones, Tracy Derrett, Claudia Peake, Rebecca Greenway, Louise Salter, Nicola Page, Sarah Phillips, Joe Harrop-Griffith
