As you all know I have developed a love for running after originally starting and setting out to raise awareness and funds for two great charities who make a huge difference to families during the unimaginable times.

Our very first and special niece passed away at 9 days old due to being born with Hypoplastic left heart syndrome. From the moment my sister in law found out she mentioned how helpful and supportive little hearts matter were during pregnancy, during the days she was here and life after loss

So again I have decided to continue running for a reason and make a difference to those who need it in memory of my beautiful niece Khadija ❤️

Yes I enjoy running since finding a new love for it but the journey of where my running started for a reason and I want to continue to raise awareness for that reason and as much funds as possible. Whilst I know some of you will think running has become enjoyable for me now, this isn’t always the case the early get ups, the long runs, the hours dedicated to being able fulfil these distances makes it all worth while when running due to raising money and awareness for such a special charity.

This year I will be completing Potters Alf (September), Great North Run (September), Chester Marathon (October) and finishing next April with Brighton Marathon. During her short time here, Khadija, my SIL and family faced battles and pain many of us haven’t experienced in our time.

I know I am asking of the same people and the same money pots, but even a pound makes a difference to those experiencing the most painful and uncertain times and this charity really makes a difference for those ❤️
