On Sunday 24th March Ready Set Go along with The DM Lab sponsored the Herefordshire Junior Cross Country Championships hosted by Hereford and County Athletics Club to raise money for the Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust in support of Gabby who has close ties to the club.

Please take a moment to read Gabby’s story below;

In September 2022 I was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia, a very aggressive form of blood cancer, and spent most of the next 9 months in Birmingham Children's Hospital having chemotherapy and then a stem cell transplant.

When I was poorly, the Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust helped me and my family so much, and they still do.  My parents got a grant from them to help with travel expenses, and they loaned out a robot to my school so that I could see, hear and speak to my friends and teachers and feel a bit less lonely.  They also had a family support worker get in touch with us, who would visit my sister in her school and me both in hospital and when I got home to talk about how we were feeling or just to play games!  She still visits and we both really enjoy the visits, and I can still talk to her about anything."

Almost 60 children aged 7 to 14 took part in the 4 races and raised

£310

for the Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust

What a fantastic achievement and something we are proud to be a part of!
