Emma - Running for the Cardiology Department - QE
Fundraising for Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham Charity
Story
I started to take running more seriously in August 2017! Needless to say, Eric does not join me...
When I started running I couldn't breathe or do distance, but slowly with perseverance and support from my running group, Hartshill, I began to improve.
I entered races to inspire me to progress and have several planned events over the next few months which I shall post about. What is important is the 'bling'!
I decided before Christmas to enter a half marathon for fun, one of those bucket list ideas which sounded good at the time! But, after a recent visit to the QE, lying in bed one night, I thought, I could run my half marathon and raise much needed funds for the Cardiology Department at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham that look after Eric and will continue to look after him for the rest of his life!
I appreciate all the hard work that the Cardiology Department do, not just for Eric, but for many others too, including the support they give to family and friends!
My half marathon is on Sunday 20th May 2018! It is the Rock and Roll Event in Liverpool, where I will be racing through the City where rock laid its roots! Following the steps of the Beatles! Partying and running - what's not to like!!
I have other fundraising ideas in the pipeline. If you want to join me for a run, come along :)
