500k in 2020
Laura Brown is raising money for NHS Lothian Charity
Team: For Brick
Story
In August 2020 my world fell to bits when I found out one of my closest friends had Oesophageal Cancer. At only 38 years of age and with a fighting spirit, I knew Brick would approach this In his own style. However, he received a further blow that the cancer had spread. Brick is an absolute legend and continues to see the good in everyone he meets. The least I can do is fight this funny old year to the dying end and pound the pavements in aid of the Edinburgh & Lothian's Health Foundation and especially the amazing Oncology Teams.
As the Proclaimers said, ‘I would walk 500 miles, and I would walk 500 more’ to change things for Brick and his family, but in the absence of that, over the next 8 weeks I aim to run 200k just by doing my 5k jogs round my local community. This would take my annual distance to 500k.
I realise 2020 has been a financial drain for many and this fundraising effort comes off the back of a couple of others I have done to keep me going in recent months, but a massive thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
