Written by a parent of a patient at Birmingham Childrens Hospital, to those running the London Marathon this weekend....lump in my throat I feel that I should be making more effort...I'm only doing a half after all!!
“My 4 year old daughter has received life saving surgery at Birmingham Children’s Hospital for a rare cardiac condition. As well as that she has had numerous operations to correct displaced hips. Lara and countless other children and families benefit from your efforts on 22nd April and I can’t thank you enough. You BCH Marathon Runners are amazing! No one, not even the elite athletes, train for an event like this without some setbacks or problems. Don’t worry about the week when you were ill or the fact that you didn’t fit in that one last big run. The Marathon, like BCH, is about overcoming adversity. You’ve got the miles in your legs and the will to succeed. Your body is the strongest, most miraculous possession you will ever own and your cause is inspirational. You’ll do it!”
