We provide a Milly Bag to children newly diagnosed with cancer

Story

In August I will run and cycle 160km to raise the cost of a Milly’s Smiles bag.  I know how much my friends Sam And Tom valued the bag they were given when her beautiful daughter Mallory was admitted to Ward 84 at Manchester Children’s hospital. When I visited Mallory my spirits were lifted by the sea of coloured blankets on the children’s beds.  Mallory recently received her last round of chemo and still inspires me every day to do something out of my comfort zone. I’m used to riding my bike but only recently took up running. I’m hoping that at least 60 of the 160km will be run on my little bendy legs. Please support me if you can. More information about the contents of the bags can be found at this link http://www.millyssmiles.org/our-ambition/
