Hello friends and family, I need your help! I've been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to run London landmarks half marathon in March next year. These places are hard to come by and valuable to charities, so I need to raise a minimum of £300 by October. I'm going to use our up coming swindon half marathon (next Sunday Sept '17) to try and 'launch' this fundraising. I know it probably seems like I'm always fundraising (it's been at least 6 months since I last asked) but my little girl has this horrendous condition, and this charity are making big waves and have lots of ongoing research. They're also helping families at a practical and offer emotional support, and well They really do mean a lot to me- they're doing what I'm doing, every single day; fighting for Hope. Fighting for a cure for her and all her little friends, whilst remembering those who are no longer here , and supporting those families too. Please if you can spare a £1 or 2 or few, know that it will make a difference. And if you made it this far, thanks for reading 💚

The Lily Foundation was founded in Lily's memory, having lost her battle to Mitochondrial Disease at just eight months old. The charity aims to give hope, answers and support to the many other children and families that face the challenges of this disease today.Did you know every twenty minutes a child is born who will develop Mitochondrial Disease by the age of 16! There is no cure for this disease which is for many, debilitating and life limiting.Please stand with us and fight Mitochondrial Disease and fight for hope.
