The Color Run, Manchester · 5 July 2015
The Color Run is going to be our first running event! It is a fun 5k & we want to run the whole track & raise money for the MS society.
As a lot of you know, my dad has suffered from MS all his life & is now in a wheelchair full time. Myself & Emma included have seen the struggles he goes through every day physically & mentally. MS attacks the nervous system & the brain. It can leave people with limited or no use of limbs, exhausted, depressed & there can be alot of complications.... But I have met a lot of people with MS through my dad. They are all kind, inspiring people. My dad goes out his way for everyone & cares about everyone before himself. We want to raise money for people like my dad, so that they can have treatments & theories, equipment installed in their homes to make life a little easier, even to help in the search for a cure... I've seen the money put into practice & I see a difficult life made easier.
We've put the target to £500 but would love to raise more. Another personal aim for myself (Abby) is that I'm hoping to persuade my dad to do a wheelchair 5K with me! If he sees how many people care, what a difference it could make, I'm sure he can be persuaded. This is something I bet he thought he could never do again.
So we ask kindly for you to donate. We are working our butts off in preparation & you could help someone amazing like my dad!!!
Thanks everyone. Abby & Emma xx
