Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My good friend Angela Hussey had the idea of raising money in gratitude to the Burns Unit of Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford after they treated her son James, who was badly scalded when he was a small baby.  It was a very traumatic time and Angela and her husband Paul were overwhelmed by their skill, expertise and care in looking after James - which they still show for him as he visits for check-ups.  I haven't run for years and years (pre-children certainly!) , neither have Angela or Claire, whilst Tim and Rachel are our guiding lights! We have supported each other in our quest to start running, increase our fitness and actually make it round the course.  This is all to raise funds for this incredibly worthwhile cause, who continue to care for children with burns and change people's lives for the better.  We have all been motivated by James himself, who is a lovely, cheerful, humorous little boy who is a tribute to his parents as well as the Burns Unit that treated him and started him on his road to recovery.  If you could support us on our challenge and donate whatever you can afford, we'll all be incredibly grateful..Thank you!

Unfortunately, I (Donna) have had to drop out of the run due to a training injury, but my colleagues Steve and Mark will now be running too.  I shall now be watching and cheering everyone on.
