My 6 yr old cousin Ruby was diagnosed with leukaemia last year, and is currently undergoing treatment in the US. She is the bravest little girl I know, and we all know she's going to beat this awful disease. She has great doctors, and is responding well to treatment, but I'd like to help support Ruby and her family by raising some money. Even if I can just raise a small amount for them to do something together.

I decided back in January, that I would run the St Alban's Half Marathon on June 10th. This seemed like a great opportunity to raise some funds for Ruby. I've been training on and off for 4 months but it's going to be tough going, especially as the furthest I've ever ran is 10km! I know this wouldn't be much of a challenge for some, but for me it will be. I'm aiming for a sub 2hr 30min finish.

Any amount of sponsorship would be hugely appreciated but please dig deep and help me hit my target.

Ruby also has a fundraising page in the states if you would like to read more. I will be donating all sponsorship straight to this fund after the race.
