We are running the Bath Half Marathon for Olivia Kershaw. She is just over a year old and struggling. She was infected with a parasite before she was born, the chances of this happening are 1:100,000. The parasite caused inflammation in her brain and eyes. As a result of three months of intensive care, three brain operations and a long list of other procedures Olivia has cerebral palsy, epilepsy, blindness and other afflictions. Twenty of us are running the Bath Half in order to raise money for Helen House, a charity that provides palliative care for terminally ill children and that has agreed to take on Olivia. Together we aim to raise an ambitious £21000 for such a deserving charity. More information on Olivia's story can be found on our team page at:
