Noah Slatem, my brave nephew, faced his battle with Leukaemia starting on the 13th of December. The news shattered us all, with thoughts immediately turning to him, my brother, and sister-in-law. We rallied together as a family during the December holidays, bouncing between the hospital and Airbnbs, ensuring everyone was cared for, especially Liam and Shay, who stood strong alongside our little soldier.

Witnessing the resilience of parents in the hospital deeply impacted me. I felt compelled to do something, to offer support beyond words. And so, the idea for RunforNoah was born.

My challenge? Five half marathons in five days! This page will document my training, my routes (feel free to join!), and the realities Liam, Shay, Noah, and the family face daily. The journey culminates in the Manchester Half Marathon. Your support means everything along the way.

It's time to bring positive change to families affected by this disease. We refuse to succumb. In Noah's brave words – "I am Brave, I am Kind, I am Important, and I am STRONG" – we find our inspiration. Let's spread this message of resilience far and wide.

Noah, Liam, Shay, and Harper, you are true superheroes.

Join us on this journey. If you can't donate, spread awareness. Let's make this a global movement. Share, spread the word, and let love prevail.

Love to all. #RunforNoah #BraveKindStrong #5in5Challenge
