Laila Lo is an amazing, charismatic and confident 11 year old girl who is very passionate and dedicated in life. Unfortunately, in July 2022, she was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma or more commonly referred to as bone cancer. Her battle for life then began as she has undergone multiple chemotherapy sessions. These treatments are being held at the Sheffield Children’s hospital, and her surgery at the Birmingham Children’s Hospital. As we may all be aware, cancer isn’t an easy battle but Laila’s spirit and positive energy have remained unbroken throughout these times; the thought of her living a normal life is what keeps her undying smile.

My name is Paul, I am a 37 year old overweight dad and my son is Laila’s classmate. On the 23rd of April 2023, I will be running the 26.2 miles of the London marathon to raise funds for Laila. All funds collected will go towards her having the trip of her dreams, and of course, to support the two great institutions who have been providing treatment for her to the best of their ability.

I am hereby asking for your kind donation in any amount you wish, as long as it comes from the heart. Together we may not change the entire world, but we can change someone’s life.
