I'm fundraising for my very close friend Rose.

I will be running my ever first “The Big Half Marathon” on 6 September. And I am dedicating this to my lovely friend Rose. 

Here is her short story;

My friend Rose is being suffering from multiple illness since from she was 10. She went through kidney failure and was under dialysis for couple of years. She had her kidney transplant which last for 5 years. She was then back to her dialysis again while waiting for her next transplant. 

She is really dedicated person, while she was fighting with her conditions she continued to her University and graduate. She is our warrior.  

While waiting for her second transplant, She cought Covid before everyone and went through very concerning times. Then She had stroke and changed her life fully. 

She was in ICU for so many months and was only able to discharge after a year in hospital. Stroke has affected her right side the worst. She is unable to walk now and goes through different phisio to have sone movement. 

Despite everything she went through she said stroke was the worst stage she went through. Thats why I want to dedicate my first ever Big Half Marathon to her. 

Please support me and Rose in this journey.

Thank you very much
