Story

During the year of 2020 I am challenging myself to run a minimum of 5000m per day,  everyday for the whole year. Regardless of conditions, injury or illness, i'll be out there completing this goal.    

The charity I will be fundraising for is one very close to our hearts. In September 2018, Alder hey Children's Hospital saved the life of our best friends' daughter Olivia. Before birth, Liv was diagnosed with a congenital heart condition and once born was fitted with a micro pacemaker which will kick in should her heart rate ever fall too low. The care she and her family received at Alder hey was simply incredible and now, just over a year on, she's doing fantastically well along with her twin sister Ruby and big brother Teddy. 

Early in 2020, weeks after starting my challenge, Liv went back to Alder Hey for her routine checkup and it was her we learnt that her pacemaker had failed. The very next day she was back into theatre where the magnificent surgeons (and all involved) saved her life once again! 

Liv, Ruby and Teddy are now all back to causing havoc and living life to their fullest! 

This charity is just phenomenal and deserves every penny it receives from your kind donations!    

Please give what you can, big or small, it all helps.
