Nia has emailed in to say a big thank you to everyone who supported her in the High Peak Marathon, she raised  £1229.38p and as a group they topped £2,500 which is amazing.  This money is going to help Isabelle, a 7 year old who has lost part of all her limbs after being diagnosed with meningococcal septicaemia and this is the email from Isabelle’s family…

Just a quick note to say a big thank-you for your fundraising for Isabelle’s trust fund. We were overwhelmed to receive such a significant amount and therefore thank you for all your efforts. It sounds amazing to undertake a run like that – particularly in the dark!

All money raised for Isabelle is going to be spent carefully, and will be used to provide for her throughout her life. Our main objective is to ensure that she is able to live her life as independently as possible, and so for example it may be house adaptations or advanced prosthesis that are necessary. At present it is too early to say what will be possible! We are planning to get a website up and running to keep all Isabelle’s supporters updated on progress and plans.

Again, many thanks!
Olly, Cathy and Isabelle
