Amber here - :)

I am doing a sponsored 5K run for Alder Hey after everything they have done for myself and my Sisters throughout or lives. (Especially Lydia's ongoing condition).

My school (Shevington High School ) set a mission for everyone in my year to raise money or awareness of a charity . I knew that Alder Hey would be the perfect Charity to raise money and awareness for.

The Fantastic doctors at Alder hey helped my eye sight regain its strength. They also helped my little sister (my inspiration for this) live and have a great normal life. Lydia my little siter was born with a complex condition of Gastroschisis a condition where the intestines extend outside of her body through a hole next to her belly button. the doctors helped Lydia regain her intestines and her strength.

I am truly inspired by what they did and it made me realise how many other children could be going through something like that or similar and that is why I am willing to run for Alder Hey to raise as much money as I can . I hope that you can support me and sponsor me on my run . All money that is raised will be well appreciated by Alder Hey hospital and myself.

Thank you .

Amber Cassidy.
