Last year, we were told that Elsie had developed a 37 degree scoliosis (curve of the spine) and that when it reached 50degrees they would want to operate to put spinal rods in to correct it. This is a huge operation for anyone to have to go through but has life-thretening consequences for a little girl with Elsie’s respiratory health.

Therefore, we want to do all we can to keep her spine as straight as we can, for as long as we can and this means having access to more expensive equipment. Great Ormond Street Hospital recommended the Rabbit Stander by R82 which Elsie has trialled and has been approved to use. Unfortunately, this costs £2384!

So...this year, I am taking on a challenge. I am going to run the Lincoln 10k on Sunday the 7th April. This is a run that I have stood on the sidelines watching for the last 10 years whilst my husband, father in law and brother in law made it look easy. I can now quite confidently say that it is not! This will be the furthest I have run and, to top it off, will be comleting it on my wedding anniversary😂💕

I have been training and want to do Elsie proud. Please sponsor if you can to support my little warrior
