I never imagined I would ever run…… let alone like* running…… but like many of us in lockdown I completed couch to 5K with my 12 year old son. Then……I then completed 5K to couch. 

This story starts about 8 weeks ago when my good friend Liam Soffe added me to a WhatsApp group called ‘Birmingham 01/05/2022’……and now with less than 2 weeks to go I might actually be able to do this!

 But this run is not about me- it is about an inspiring person- Elizabeth. From the age of 6 months she has demonstrated strength and endurance. Not just with how she and her family have gracefully navigated the past 7 years but how they have looked to support and celebrate others. Over lockdown Elizabeth raised over £200,000 by running a mile a day to complete a marathon. Donating the funds to Birmingham Children's Hospital to invest in a machine which improves scar healing.

I would really appreciate if you could help support this amazing family who now are helping others to cope and live with life changing scars.

*like might be a strong word when it comes to running for me!
