Hi, my name is Izzie, and on Sunday 10th May I’ll be running the Bristol Half Marathon in memory of my best friend, Elise.

Elise was so much more than a best friend to me, she was a huge part of my life and losing her has left a space that can never truly be filled. She meant everything to me.

I’ve decided to take on this challenge not only to honour Elise but also to support the incredible Great Western Air Ambulance Charity. They played a vital role in helping her and I want to give back in any way I can so they can continue to be there for others in their most critical moments.

If you’re able to donate, no matter how small, it would mean so much to me and will help support an amazing cause that saves lives every day. If you can’t donate, sharing this page would also mean the world.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for helping me honour Elise’s memory.
