Thanks so much for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will be running the Birmingham Half Marathon on 21st October. Please help me raise money for Birmingham Children's Hospital.

My friend's 10 year old daughter Orla is undergoing treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and following the diagnosis in July which turned her family's world upside down, Orla spent three weeks on the cancer ward at BCH, where the "care and compassion received from the staff was amazing". The facilities at the hospital need updating and any donations will help towards their £4 million appeal.

Barclays will match my donations £ for £
