Lily's Legends

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit our team fundraising page.

We've joined together & decided to do something positive by signing up for the Brentwood half marathon in March 2014. This is to raise money for The Neuroblastoma Society after receiving the devastating news that our little Lily Vidler, who will be 2 in Dec 2013 has cancer. We have been lucky enough to have an unbelievably supportive family & group of friends, neighbours and even some kind hearted strangers joining us. An idea that started out with 4-6 people running has escalated and we now have a small army of over 200 people joining us, ranging from 8-68 years old!!!!! :o))))

About Lily:

Lily was diagnosed with neuroblastoma when she was 20months old in August 2013. It is a rare, aggressive type of cancer, affecting only 100 children a year in the UK and early detection is paramount to successful treatment. Symptoms are similar to many common childhood illnesses which means it is often misdiagnosed. It was the persistence of Lily's parents with the doctors that has literally saved Lily's life; it has hopefully been caught early enough to treat successfully. By running the marathon we are hoping to raise awareness of this awful disease. If we can enable just one parent to catch it early & save their child's life, then something good can come out of everything our brave little Lily, her parents, siblings, grandparents & the rest of her family have endured.
