Hi my name is Ami and im running London Marathon for Family holidays.

It is estimated that about 8% of the uk thats 1 in 12 have never had a holiday and 61% of the families who have been in touch with the Charity have never had a holiday away. Some of these families have never left their home town area either, so I would like to help change this and help families have a break from their area/house and make memories with their family :) making memories is so important to everyone and having a holiday to look forward to is something we should all experience at least once.

This charity is close to my heart because not only was i one of these children who didn't have a holiday as a child but also because I work in a secondary school with many of our students coming from a lower income family and some are in that 8%

If you can help in anyway to reach my target I will be forever greatful.

Thankyou.

Kay, or ‘Nan’ to Amelia (14) and Eden (9) set off from their home in the West Midlands, along with carer Becky. This was the first holiday Kay has had with her granddaughters since their mother passed away two and a half years ago.

Amelia and Eden now live with Kay who has disabilities. The girls help out at home by making tea and dressing their Nan.

Kay knew it was important that Amelia and Eden managed to have a proper break from their caring duties which is why Becky joined them for the holiday.

On the first day they wrapped up warm and spent the day on the beach. Before they went on holiday, Eden was looking forward to the evening entertainment, and Amelia wanted to play pool.

Kay just wanted her granddaughters to have a chance to relax and have fun. The holiday fulfilled all their wishes and more. Kay says they have never had so many belly laughs!
