Story

We will be running 100km through out March to hopefully raise funds to help get little Rio to America.

We have a amazing group of Hereford Mums taking part in the Challenge:

Charlie, Gemma and the two Sam's.

Rio is currently receiving aggressive frontline treatment to get this cancer in to remission. Rio’s strength is unbelievable, and he continues to fight all of this with a smile on his face whilst he endures endless, long hospital stays and gruelling treatment.

The longer term treatment that Rio needs to ensure that this brutal cancer remains in remission is not currently available on the NHS, and his family are tirelessly fundraising to ensure they can get Rio to America to access the treatment he desperately needs and deserves.
