Harmony’s story
UPDATE! PLEASE READ!
UNFORTUNATELY ANNA HAS NOT RECOVERED FROM A KNEE INJURY AND I HAVE SUFFERED WITH A CHEST INFECTION SO WE ARE UNABLE TO RUN THIS EVENT. HOWEVER, BETH WILL STILL BE RUNNING. WE WILL LOOK INTO BOOKING ANOTHER RACE LATER ON IN THE SCHOOL YEAR!
WE ARE SUPER DISAPPOINTED! BUT A HALF WILL BE RUN!
Hey there! You generous, lovely lot!
Myself (Not a runner), Beth (Brighton Marathon finisher) and Anna (Seasoned professional) will be running the Surrey Half Marathon in September.
We're hoping to raise money for Gosden House - an outstanding school for young people with learning and additional needs. They take a holistic, pastoral approach to give learners the skills needed for a happy life as a valued member of their community. It also happens to be where Beth and I work! (we're dragging Anna along for the ride!).
I have been part of the Gosden family for 6 years and have been inspired countless times by our RESILIENT, special young people. They DESERVE all the opportunities, chances and resources to better their life outcomes.
Currently, a lack of funding nationally has created a gap between the provision schools expected to make and resources we received. This means a reduction in SENSORY apparatus.
Regulating and exploring different sensory experiences is IMPORTANT for our children. They are specifically designed to give a sensory experience in a SAFE environment. Funds raised will support the restoration of our SENSORY SPACE. This will make a BIG difference to our learners school experience! TRUST ME!
If anyone fancies signing up and joining us for this challenge, we'd be thrilled! You just have to put up with me moaning for 21 kilometres and run next to the most POSITIVE people EVER!
Thanks for your support,
Harms, Beth and Anna xox
