We are excited to announce that we ‘mum and son’ team will be participating in the Great Manchester Run 2025 on May 18th, 2025. This marathon is not just an event for us; it is an opportunity to raise awareness and funds for Annie and Joe. Our target is to raise £1000 to ensure that both Annie and Joe receive the care and support necessary.

Hugo has promised to set the pace and support (shout lol) at his mum so we can do this in under 2 hours. Please read the stories for more information on why we want to support our dear friends

Annie’s story

At Just4Children, we are on a heartfelt mission to support a remarkable young girl with a rare genetic condition. Annabelle is one of only about 18 known cases worldwide, making her a true rare diamond in our eyes. Currently, she faces significant challenges; she cannot stand up, walk, or communicate verbally. However, with your generous support, we can help her continue vital therapies that will enhance her chances of development and bring hope to her.

Joe’s story

We are supporting Kidneys for life for Hugo’s school friend Joe Skidmore. Hugo has been friends with Joe since primary school and they are still great friends now studying at their respective universities. Joe was 10-years-old when it was discovered that he had only one kidney and that kidney is damaged. Joe has Chronic kidney disease and we want to make sure we support kidneys for life in their mission to support people like Joe.

We invite you to join us in these inspiring causes, your contribution can make a difference and help us to pave brighter days ahead for both Annie and Joe

Love and thanks Amanda & Hugo x
