C.H.S.F Leeds 10km 1 week to go : Sun Jul 03, 2016 12:33 pm
|
Ben, my little boy was born with two holes in his heart, and in January last year he had open heart surgery to correct this. It was a tough time but thanks to the fantastic care he received at the Leeds Children's Heart Unit, he sailed through the surgery and initial post operative period, and has now made a full recovery.
I was really inspired by the hard working staff and the exceptional bravery shown by some of the kids and their parents that I met on the unit. So I decided I wanted to try and raise money for the Children's Heart Surgery Fund, the charity which supports the unit. Last year I ran the Leeds 10k..... And I raised about £1300, of which about £500 came from many kind RFL fans from this site. This year I am going to run it again, hopefully beating my race time and the amount I raise. So again, that's where you come in..... Please could you sponsor me and help me reach my target and help support the great work of the Leeds Children's Heart Unit. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Andy-Marsden3 |
