<div>Meet Eddie! He’s 11 years old, loves running, and has been smashing kids’ Park Run every Sunday for over a year. Now he’s setting himself his biggest (and silliest!) challenge yet…
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Eddie is going to run 10 parkruns in a giant inflatable dinosaur costume — yes, really! Imagine a speedy T-rex charging around the park every weekend.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why? Because Eddie wants to raise money for Make-A-Wish UK, a charity that brings joy and unforgettable experiences to children with critical illnesses. He knows how lucky he is to be able to run, play and be active every week, and he wants to use his love of running to help other children smile too.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation, big or small, will help Eddie reach his goal and help Make-A-Wish create life-changing memories for children who need them most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So if you see a dinosaur running past you on a Sunday morning — give him a big cheer, because that’s Eddie on his Dino Dash for an amazing cause!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please sponsor Eddie and help him turn every roar into a wish come true.
