Story
Myself Dawn McLeish, Claire Reedy, Krissie Clarke, Wendy Dodd, Baz Hearst, Danielle & Gavin Watson (aka chase from paw patrol), Claire Atkinson, Christine Sweeney, Donna McHugh, Isobell Hearst, Juliet Hutchin and Ian Woolley are running the Asda Foundation 10k to raise funds for Mia Moo's Foundation. The majority of us have never ran before or even entered an event of this kind, but we all feel we want to challenge ourselves and raise some money for a charity close to our hearts.
Mia was 1½ yrs old when diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. After 2½ yrs of treatment Mia was given the all clear, but 7 months later Mia’s cancer returned & she is currently receiving more treatment. In-between treatment & hospital stays, Mia was fortunate enough to have a holiday which she thoroughly enjoyed. The family have now set up a charity & want to purchase a holiday home to help other families affected by childhood cancer by providing holidays to create memories & receive well deserved respite away from hospital life.
