There is only 6 more days to go till "A RUN FOR ELLIE" which is an initiative by 2 friends Jeff & Tracey.
Their idea was to run a fun run, gain sponorship & donations to go towards assisting with Ellies medical, specialist, therapy and future aids costs. We will be running the Mothers Day Classic on Sunday May 9, and it is a 4km run.
I have ran this twice before, but it was before Ellie was born... so I was a bit concerned if I could actually 'run' the whole 4km..... So on Sunday, Luke, Ellie and I went to the Botanical gardens, where the run will be held. Luke walked with Ellie and I had a practice run.... I actually did it.... the whole 4km and didnt stop (ok I did power walk half the hill) but ran the rest of it...
So now that the practice run is out of the way, I am ready to "RUN FOR ELLIE"
Watch this space for pictures of the 'run' and the day!!
Ellie has a rare genetic syndrome called Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome. This is the result of a genetic error on chromosome 4. It is estimated to occur in 1 in 50,000 births. Ellie also has right eye anophthalmia, which means she was born without her right eye. Ellies life has its ups and downs, but she continually amazes us and makes us smile. This is her story
Being happy doesnt mean that everything is perfect.
It means that you have decided to look beyond the imperfections...
I am sure it will be a great day and hope you raise lots of money to help with Ellie's care and therapies! xx
