Newcastle-Gateshead Half in Memory of Mia Rose🧔

Zara Berwick is raising money for The Bubble Foundation UK

Story

Next year, I am participating in the Newcastle-Gateshead Half in memory of my beautiful little sister Mia Rose Berwick🧔 Who passed away in May 2012, at the age of 8.

The charity I am fundraising for is The Bubble Foundation UK🫧, a cause that holds a special place in my heart. This incredible organisation funds vital research, provides essential medical equipment, and offers much-needed support to parents and families during their most challenging times—support that was invaluable to us when my sister was in the hospital🧔

The Bubble Foundation also brings joy to children on the ward by providing toys, crafts, and games, making their time in hospital as enjoyable as possible🧔

Ward 3 at The Great North Children’s Hospital in Newcastle is where my sister received her care and spent a significant amount of time. It is truly an honor to participate, right here in Newcastle, where she fought so bravely🧔

I won’t lie, this run will be tough. However, what my sister endured was far tougher than anything I will face on that day. I am determined to push through for her and for all the children who need support now more than ever. I kindly ask for your support—any donation towards my target of Ā£250 would be greatly appreciated🧔
