Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. As some of you know I've only just started running in the last six months and I've been quite relaxed about it. Now I feel it's the time to have a clear goal that I can work towards. With that said I'm going to run a 10K with the support of my brother on the 28th of January 2018. 

At the start of this year a young girl named Olivia joined Noah's school. Olivia suffers from a rare genetic form of dwarfism called Goldblatt Syndrome. As a result, due to her neck instability and severe spinal curvature, Olivia experiences pain every day and is unlikely ever to walk independently. And yet, she refuses to let her condition define her. Strikingly pretty, with brown curly hair, expressive hazel eyes, and an easy smile, Olivia is engaging, friendly and a girl who charms all who meet her. 

I'm raising money to help Olivia and her family buy essential equipment such as adapters that will help her to use an iPad. Any donations would mean the world to me, Olivia and her family!
