After the devastating news that our little Lily has cancer, we have decided to do something positive & so have signed up for the Brentwood half marathon. Our team consists of Vicki & Steve (Lily's parents), Sandie & Tony (her grandparents) & Emma & Matt (her aunt & uncle). Also participating in the 3 mile fun run will be her big brother Connor & her big cousin Archie. Her big sister Izzy and big cousin Holly will be going round with collection buckets as theycsrectoo young to particpate in thr fun run. Lily and her cousin Isla, who is 2 weeks older than her, will be supporting from the crowd. We have been lucky enough to have an unbelievably supportive family & group of friends, neighbours and even some kind hearted strangers joining us. So far there will be 108 adults & 7 children ranging from 8-68 years old!!!!! :o))))

About Lily:

Lily was diagnosed with neuroblastoma when she was 20months old in August 2013. It is a rare, aggressive type of cancer, affecting only 100 children a year in the UK and early detection is paramount to successful treatment. Symptoms are similar to many common childhood illnesses which means it is often misdiagnosed. It was the persistence of Lily's parents with the doctors that has literally saved Lily's life; it has hopefully been caught early enough to treat successfully. By running the marathon we are hoping to raise awareness of this awful disease. If we can enable just one parent to catch it early & save their child's life, then something good can come out of everything our brave little Lily, her parents, siblings, grandparents & the rest of her family have endured.
