I am running the Great North Run for an amazing charity.

As many of you know myself, my mum and my sister have all worked with children with additional needs, often there needs are also medical. This charity is close to our hearts, and a few years ago my mum was nominated for a Well child award due to all the work she has done with children.

I am incredibly lucky to have two fit and healthy children, but there are many families in the UK that need extra support from charitys such as Well child. Please dig deep and any donation will go far to helping those families.

WellChild enables children with complex medical needs to thrive at home by funding specialist nurses, connecting families through peer support, providing hands-on training, and transforming outdoor spaces.

Your donation will help to give this growing population of children and young people the best possible chance to thrive: properly supported at home, together with their families.

• £150 could provide a day of a WellChild Family Coordinator’s time to support families through the WellChild Family Tree

• £50 could fund a Parent Ambassador to host a local support group for parent carers in their region

• £20 could connect a WellChild Family to our vital information and support service, the WellChild Family Tree
