Support children with life threatening illnesses

We are colleagues that work together for West Yorkshire Police. We are looking to raise money to support children suffering life changing / life-threatening illness and to help support the families of these children.

The money we are seeking to raise will all go to two very worthy charities in need of funding, the “Azaylia Foundation” and “Bliss”.

The inspiration for this fund raiser is Azaylia Cain, whose brave and inspirational battle against Leukaemia touched us all and was heart breaking to see happen especially to someone so young. Azaylia’s fight lasted for 259 days and this figure of 259 is what the challenge is based around to raise much needed money.

Please can I ask that people donate to this cause and help raise the much needed funds, not only to help fund research into this disease, but also to raise money to help fund the support for families going through such a heart-breaking battle.

The “Azaylia Foundation” has been set up in memory of their late daughter to help raise money for further research into Leukaemia and to support families through this terrible and cruel disease.

The charity “Bliss” exists to give every baby born premature or sick in the UK the best chance of survival and quality of life. This is a charity close to the heart of David Allott, as they were a great support to him personally during the birth of his twins.

Below is the list of what we are doing individually, we are all different fitness levels and the individual goals are based around what each
person will find a tough challenge.

Mark Freeman – 259 miles running in the month of November 2021 (9 miles per day)

Dave Allott - 259 miles running in the month of November 2021 (9 miles per day)

Sebastian Morgan - 259 Kilometres running in the month of November 2021 (9km per day)

Adam Johnson – 259 Kilometres in the month of November (alternating 9 Kilometre run and 9 Kilometre bike ride per day)

Danni McCarthy - 259 Exercises per day (exercise changing daily)

I am fully aware that times are financially tough for people and that there are a number of worthy charities to donate to. But these charities are very close to our hearts and need all the help they can get to further understand the illness of Leukaemia and to be able to support families as a whole going through the heart-breaking trauma of coping with their children being seriously ill.
