To raise money for For Ava foundation and Freshfields Animal Rescue a few of us at BDO SSC Liverpool Office are either running the Liverpool Rock 'n Roll Half Marathon or full marathon.

ForAva Foundation raises funds to create ‘Be there’ boxes for kids and families affected by childhood cancer and stem cell transplant. The boxes contain treats and essentials to help support children and their families while they are in isolation. Each box is bespoke for the child/young person with items to keep them entertained and hopefully keeping them distracted. The boxes also contain vouchers for the parents/carers and siblings to help with living costs or treats.

Freshfields Animal Rescue is a non-profit organisation that cares for abandoned, abused and unwanted domestic and small farm animals. They also look after sick and injured wildlife. They also provide a rehoming service and urban conservation initiatives.
