Story

On Friday 24th March 2017 the beautiful, caring and sweet Violet-Grace Youens, was run over whilst crossing the road with her Nannie in a hit-and-run by a stolen car. Sadly, Violet-Grace, passed away the next day. However, the brave little fighter went on to save lives by donating her organs. Violet has also since inspired other remarkable people to join the Organ Donor Register.

We will be running the Paris Marathon on Sunday the 3rd of April in order to raise funds for ‘Violet-Grace’s Gift‘ Being inspred by Violet-Graces Dad, Glenn, The Violet Grace charity team and sister charity Isaballe Roses team who have completed in the past the London Marathon, Southport Triathlon, Liverpool Rock N Roll Marathon, The Grind (5 mile run) Cotswolds 24 hours (team relay race with 9k Laps - as many as possible in 24 hours) Liverbird Marathon and the INSPIRING cycle to Paris event.

Violet-Grace’s Gift is a concept whereby money raised will be used to help families in the St Helens community who are struggling with bereavement of a child. We hope, in-turn, to grow the Violet-Grace family and continue to carry out events such as this in the future.

St Helens is a wonderful community who come together in times of crisis. If anyone would like to take part in a challenge in they can get in touch via the social media pages (Facebook and Instagram), or donate to via this page.

Thank You
