Support My Journey in The Great Run for The Special Lioness!
I am taking on The Great Run to raise awareness and funds for The Special Lioness, an incredible, award-winning, parent-led charity based in Sunderland. As a parent of a son with autism, I understand firsthand the struggles, challenges, and triumphs that come with raising a child with additional needs. That’s why this cause is so close to my heart.
The Special Lioness was founded in 2017 by two inspiring mothers of children with life-limiting conditions and profound disabilities. Their mission is to support families like ours, offering vital services, events, and the first sensory room in the North East—a safe and stimulating space where children can explore, develop, and thrive.
Every step I take in this race is for families like mine, for the children who deserve every opportunity to reach their full potential, and for the parents who need a strong, supportive community. With your help, we can ensure The Special Lioness continues its life-changing work.
Please consider donating, sharing, or simply cheering me on as I take on this challenge. Every contribution, big or small, makes a real difference in the lives of these children and their families.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity!
