Story

Jon and Stephen are running their first marathon on 5 October for Alder Hey (feel free to ask Stephen about his almost Manchester Marathon)

Jon's daughter, Annabelle had major surgery (Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy) there in 2024 with intensive physio, hydro and rehabilitation.

6 months after that, it became clear that she needed a further operation to have both hips reconstructed, which she will have towards the end of this year. We have total confidence in Alder Hey.

The care Annabelle received at Alder hey was amazing. So much so, that she calls it 'The Fun Hospital'.
