Lou's Cardiff Half Marathon for Lauren Hughes
Fundraising for University Hospitals of North Midlands Charity
Story
Running Cardiff half marathon will not only be a personal achievement for me but I will also be trying to raise money for the University Hospital of North Staffordshire NHS Trust , a charity very close to my own heart.
On the 1st may 2012 Lauren Marie Hughes a beautiful, bubbly, amazing girl sadly lost her life, she was loved by so many people and only being 15 she managed to have such an influence on so many life's. Lauren's life was taken away from us too early because of an asthma attack she had which caused her to collapse. She was then rushed to the University Hospital of North Staffordshire, the Children's intensive care unit, where the staff worked hard to try and save Lauren's life. They were caring, loving and did everything in their power to help both Lauren and her family.
I had the pleasure of teaching dance to Lauren, she was always so happy, very keen and no matter what always managed to make us all laugh. She played such a large role in mine and the other girls life's, which is why I want to run Cardiff half marathon in memory of her. She will always be in our hearts & thoughts.
** In loving memory of Lauren Marie Hughes my dancing queen **
