I am running the AJ Bell Birmingham 10K on 5th May in support of Young at Heart charity (YAH).

Young at Heart is the support Group for families of children diagnosed with heart defects, treated at the Cardiac Unit, Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

All these children and their families have spent many weeks/months in hospital undergoing major heart surgery. Sadly, some do not survive and for others their only hope is a heart transplant.

The Midlands’ biggest and best running event takes runners on a 10k or half marathon tour of the city & past some of Birmingham’s most famous landmarks.

It’s a run for everyone, of all ages and abilities – an inclusive celebration of Brummie running, with music blazing, crowds buzzing, legs pumping and fists bumping. The city comes alive on the AJ Bell Great Birmingham Run weekend.

It’s not all about the adults, the Junior & Mini events give the kids a chance to experience that finish line feeling, earn a special medal & raise money for good causes.
