Long-term Challenges:
|
Victoria Bird is taking on a year of challenges from June 2018 - May 2019. She says:
"My little girl has lung problems and has been very poorly since early toddlerhood with infections but more so since January 2017. While we are trying to find a diagnosis and get used to this way of life the British Lung Foundation have been amazing with their help. I have spent many a sleepless night at hospital wondering what will happen and their advice over the phone, emails and website has been a source of comfort and help at a much needed time. I want to help give something back and help little ones and adults suffering with lung conditions. My fundraising journey of a year will start at the beginning of June- 1st 2018 and end 31st May 2019, I am aiming big and hope to raise a lot of money".

Birmingham Half Marathon, 14th October 2018
|
Sharon Houghton is running the Birmingham Half Marathon in aid of St Giles' Hospice.
Sharon says "Those who know me know I’m a slow bimpler more than a runner. However 10 weeks ago my Uncle was admitted to St Giles Hospice with end stage motor neurone disease. So grateful for the amazing care he had, and the support and compassion shown to my aunt and cousins, I decided to sign up for Birmingham Half to raise funds for them. I will not be ready to run it all but am determined to do my very best! I want to make them and this fabulous club proud. If you see me there please give me a cheer and shout as I am seriously going to need all the support available to get me round the course! " You can support Sharon via her JustGiving page. |
