Story

Hi I’m Rocco Leek and I want to raise some money to help my friend Eva in my class who is poorly and will need some treatment in hospital.

I’m going to run a marathon in February 2025 by running one mile every day of February. Mum, Dad and Freddie are going to run with me every day too. So in total I will run 28 miles which is more than a marathon actually.

Please sponsor me. I want to raise £500 so that we can get some good Barbie toys for Eva to play with when she’s in hospital.

Thank you Rocco Leek
