My son's story is below. I have promised to do this to try and help him and his team pass £5000 since they started fundraising 2 years ago- they are getting close. I am hopeful that the skydive gets the last donations needed to hit the team's target. This year is his third run for the charity. This year he has a team running with him again and I shall be doing the half marathon too.

For context, I hate heights and flying. when taking off in a plane a few years ago, I held the hand of my then father in law and I cried, poor man. I am really not looking forward to this! But we really want to hit our milestone, so if you can spare a few pence, we are very grateful!

Reuben's story

When I was born, I needed treatment on my feet so that I am able to walk and play. Bristol Children's Hospital cared for me and went above and beyond to help me so that I can do runs like this one with confidence! They gave me boots and a bar, operated on my feet, gave me new splints to wear and plaster casts when I needed them. They taught me the stretches that I need to do as I grow. They made me feel safe and they cheered me on through my treatment. Because of their kindness and hard work I can play football with my friends and ride my bike! I would like to support the hospital so that other children get the same care that they deserve and so that the hospital gets the support that they need to help other children.

Over the last two years my friends and I have raised over £3000. This year my incredible family and friends are going to run with me again as we look to go one better. My dad is going to run the half marathon and my friends and I will all be running the junior or mini races. This page is all of ours, I feel so lucky to have my family and friends with me on the day! Please support these amazing people and I to raise money for this wonderful cause.
