Story

Lucy and Katie take on the Great Manchester half marathon in May 🏃🏼‍♀️

In September 2023, our gorgeous, fun-loving nephew, Jack, was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma at the age of 9. It is a cancer of the brain and he has been undergoing treatment at the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital and The Christie ever since.

Jack has been an absolute warrior and taken all of his treatments so far like a trooper and his strength has inspired us so much to raise money for the hospital.

We want the money raised to go towards the play specialist department at the children's hospital, as Jane Aston (the play specialist on his ward) helped Jack and his family through their hardest times when he was first admitted. They bring light to so many families and it would be amazing if we can add more games and toys to help with this.

We both HATE running, so please donate if you can to get us through the dark winter runs and raise money for this incredible cause and our little hero!!
