Hi I'm Iliya, nearly 4 years and taking part in my first run at Richmond Runfest. I was so inspired by all the marathon runners taking on a challenge and raising money for worthy causes. I'm taking on a challenge to beat the blues this winter, and to make a difference to the lives of children with cancer, what better reason is there?!

A cancer diagnosis and treatment doesn't just affect children physically, it can also have a huge impact on their mental health, and the mental health of those who love them. While the doctors and consultants are doing what they can to heal them physically, Lennox Children's Cancer Fund are committed to helping them emotionally, practically and financially through their many projects and services.

If you are able to sponsor me, and support Lennox Children's Cancer Fund and the great work that they do, that would be super!

From me and the charity, thank you!
