Story
Accountants from city firm MHA Bloomer Heaven will be taking on this year’s Bupa Great Birmingham Run dressed as superheroes.
We are running in support of BURNAID a small local charity that aims to support Burn Survivors and their families at the Burn Centres at Birmingham Children's Hospital and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham. These two Burn Centres are the only two for the West Midlands Region serving a population size of 10.500,000 and extending over a seventy mile radius around the two Hospitals.
Many thanks, The MHA Bloomer Heaven Running Team x
