Story

Hey guys!

Hope you’re all good! Thank you for checking this page out. I found out on Monday that I had a chance to run the London marathon, it’s quite delusional but I’m hoping the years of running will help my legs over these next 7 weeks. I kinda just thought - why not, nothing is given in life, who knows what tomorow or next week will bring, so may as well grab an opportunity when it comes. Wish me luck!

The charity I am running for , is a wonderful charity called Wellchild, who provide essential care and practical support to children and young people requiring long-term or complex care. They play a crucial role in enabling children to leave hospital and be cared for at home, reducing the practical, emotional and financial impact for families.

I can’t even imagine how tough it must be caring for a child, the stress, worry, sadness it can cause, and I am really excited to raise as much money as possible for them.

WellChild is also committed to funding high quality, innovative projects designed to have a positive impact for seriously ill children both now and in the future. This includes WellChilds Helping Hands programme which continues to go from strength to strength, working with volunteers from companies and organisations across the country to tackle essential projects in the homes of children with serious illness. Those volunteers provide the manpower and enthusiasm for projects such as bedroom and garden makeovers.

I am working on the best prize for anyone who donates to this page, I’ve spoken to some of my fave brands and it’s shaping up to be so good 💕

Thank you so much guys! Your comments definitely made me believe this is doable, I can’t thank you enough xx
