10 for Freya


Who is up for a challenge????

As you know this year I have reached a milestone that nobody thought I was going to reach - I turned 10 on the 26th of July.

In celebration of this, my mummy has set herself a challenge to raise money for The Freya Foundation and we would like to get as many people involved as possible.

Please see below my mum's reason for doing this challenge:

'This year was a very special one for us as Freya turned 10. As many of you know we were told she wasn't likely to make 2 or 3 so it’s absolutely incredible.

The last 18 months have been incredibly hard. We had to shield from Covid for months, all outside support stopped and we were cut off from the outside world.

My Mum passed away which was devastating and Freya's health deteriorated. Being a carer you can often be forgotten about and shut off from the world around you. Things started to take their toll. I needed to make sure that I was well so I started running to keep myself physically and mentally fit.

So I have set myself a challenge and in honour of Freya turning 10 and my big birthday I've decided to run 4 x 10km over the course of the weekend 25/26 September and the last 10k I will be running with Freya.

Now those who know me know I'm no runner and this is a huge challenge for me'

This is where you come in.........

We would like to invite as many people as possible to try and raise some money whilst having some fun over the weekend of 25 & 26th September - Don't worry we aren't expecting you all to run 40km πŸ˜†πŸ˜†.

We are calling the weekend '10 for Freya' and you can set yourself your own challenge to raise money, it doesn't have to be running.

An extra special prize will be given to the most extravagant fundraising challenge πŸ€”.
