Story

If anyone of you know me, you know I am pretty lazy and incredibly unfit, so I decided to sign up for sheffield half marathon, makes sense right....


Well there is an incredibly good reason why I chose to do this. Please take your time to read what can only be described as a beautiful strong brave little princess her story is heart breaking and that’s the exact reason I am aiming to raise as much as I can for this little girls charity please help in any way you can..


‼️‼️ MYLA’S STORY ‼️‼️

I am four years old and have just been diagnosed with a life threatening rare disease known as severe alplastic anaemia. This means total bone marrow failure.
3 weeks ago I was a normal happy healthy child who loved ballet dancing, gymnastics, swimming lessons and school, but all that changed when one day My mummy noticed some bruising which lead her to take me to the hospital. Since that day my life has changed forever.
Now i can no longer do the things I love as I have no immune system and i am in hospital 3 times a week for transfusions
The best chance at living a long healthy life is a bone marrow transplant.
There are not many donors on the bone marrow register and I am in need of one.
90% of people now donate directly from their bloodstream which is comfortable painless and so worthwhile as it saves people’s life.
We are trying to get across to the public how pain free and simple this pourrocedure is but we are so in urgent need of young 16-30 year olds to join the register
My future is uncertain but bringing awareness to this rare condition is going help and save people’s life including mine.
I wonder if you could help to bring this awareness to the young people.
We are a heartbroken family who just wants a small chance of saving little girls life.
