“I feel very privileged to have worn the Shooting Star Children’s Hospices top today, running with such a fabulous team and for a great cause is the only thing that kept me putting one foot in front of the other!” Nathalie
“The cheer points were incredible (especially the second one as I was having to dig pretty deep at that point to just put one foot in front of the other). What an honour to run for Shooting Star Children’s Hospices!” Paula
