I’m running Rob Burrow Leeds marathon on 14th May 2023

The event will be held in support of the Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease Appeal as well as the MND Association.

I’m choosing to run the Marathon to create further awareness of Kawasaki Disease.

This was in the headlines like never before during the Covid-19 pandemic, I am fundraising for Societi Foundation so they can help worried families, anxious parents and people with a history of Kawasaki Disease.

This is personally a very important to me. As my little girl Sadie had the disease back in August 2021 and things were looking very bleak for her at this extremely worrying time. Thanks to the staff at The Royal Blackburn & Alder Hey - Liverpool Sadie is now fine and fighting fit.

With the funding in which I raise this will go towards helping them get trusted FACTS shared quickly to educate doctors and reassure worried mums and dads.

As a small charity they are *struggling* to cope. They have no Government funding or grant support at all, are completely reliant on donations and fundraisers. Right now their resources are at an all-time low! Yet their work to protect children from Kawasaki Disease, the #1 cause of acquired heart disease in children, has NEVER been more important.

I am fundraising for them so they can:

Help worried parents

Provide URGENTLY needed awareness info to doctors

Share accurate info

Get Kawasaki Disease known!

Please donate what you can so we can protect tiny hearts! THANK YOU.
