Story

The whole family planned to do the GNR but we didn't get places, thankfully the babies of the family Ellen and Amelia did. The girls adored their oldest sister Lianne and have wanted to run this for her for a long time. 

The Air Ambulance tried so hard to save our beautiful sister but sadly it was too late. We have chosen this charity as it doesn't get half of the recognition it deserves and does not receive public funding. We have raised a lot for the Freeman Heart and Lung unit so decided to next focus our efforts on this. Due to Lianne needing immediate attention and living in a remote place, the Air Ambulance was dispatched that day and I believe the people who attended the scene will always remember it. Such a young girl, such tragic circumstances and sadly nothing they tried worked as she had already gone.

 We will always be so thankful to them for trying their utmost best to bring Lianne back to us.
