We are running the Chicago marathon on Sunday 8 October and would love for you to encourage us to get over that finish line with a little bit of support for Ronnie.

All about Remarkable Ronnie:

Ronnie is a remarkable 5 year old from Rugby who has multiple disabilities including cerebral palsy, epilepsy and dysphagia. He is also registered blind!

He loves going to school, riding his trike and walking his miniature poodle, Rusty! His little brother, Ralph is chimp-esque and climbs all over him much to Ronnie’s dismay! Ronnie really enjoys a packet of Cheetoes and has a liking for Peppa Pig and Justin Fletcher! Ronnie is known for his beautiful blonde curly locks!

Ronnie’s weekly private therapy includes physio with an incredible paediatric physiotherapist, hippotherapy (physio on horseback- a very small pony 😁) and swimming! We have lots of therapy booked over the summer including intensive physio weeks, an in-depth visual assessment in and we’re heading back to Swimlab International again next year for more aqua therapy!

It’s absolutely imperative that Ronnie continues to access private therapy and build on what he has achieved in the last couple of years! He suffered a big step back with progress late last year due to big seizures but has worked really hard to regain that strength!

Just4Children need your support to help Ronnie push the boundaries and reach his full potential through therapies and equipment.

Our marathon journey:

We both are so fortunate to have got into this year's Chicago marathon through the ballot, giving us this opportunity to raise money for someone so special.

Since starting our training programme in June we've ran over 350km, with a half marathon or more for 8 consistent weeks. It's been tough some weeks with such a random British summer, but it's been amazing seeing both our progress and being able to get through the toughest part of this journey together.

This is Tori's first marathon and has absolutely smashed training for it, with her 50th training run being in Chicago.

We would be so grateful for any donations that you're able to give, and if not any message of support this week/on the day are always appreciated.

Thanks so much, Beth and Tori xx
