In September 2015 our gorgeous daughter was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. Heidi went through 9 months of intensive chemotherapy followed by daily 'maintenance' chemotherapy until Feb 2018 when she rang that End of Treatment bell.
We are immensely proud of how well Heidi coped with everything that was thrown at her and, yes we had countless bad days, but we got through it! She is now thriving like any other child her age which is amazing to see. She has her childhood back!
After the first nine months of intensive treatment finished, Ian and I decided to embark on a series of fitness events/challenges over the next 9 months. These included the Brean Down 5k (v hilly eek) on the 31st July 2016 and ended with the Bath Half Marathon on March 12th 2017. We also did lots more inbetween and still want to fundraise, where we can, to support all the charities that have supported us (all of which are listed below)
Remember: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never share them with anyone or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 25%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer, too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with JustGiving.
