Beti’s sidekick

Hi, my name is Alice and I am planning to run my second half marathon in Cardiff this October. I have decided to use the opportunity to fundraise for a cause really close to my heart. My good friend Natalie, whose daughter, Beti, has suffered a brain tumour and lives with autism, a learning disability, hydrocephalus, and is tube-fed, is raising money to get an assistance dog for Beti.

An assistance dog would be truly life-changing for Beti—offering her emotional support, helping with daily tasks, increasing her independence, and simply being a loyal friend through everything she faces.

Although Beti has been accepted for an assistance dog, Natalie needs to raise £14,000 to help cover the cost of its training and care and I want to help her get there, a little bit for every mile I run! Every donation, no matter how small, brings Natalie one step closer to giving Beti the companion she needs!
