Moorside quartet put best foot forward for
children's charity
A group of running pals from Moorside Park in Crosby have
been inspired to tackle the Virgin Money London Marathon in aid of UK wide
children's charity, Action Medical Research. Jim Hicks, Elizabeth Van
Duyvenbode, Chris Beasley and Sarah Brewster from Moorside Park Run Club will be
joining the country's biggest race on Sunday, 23 April 2017, to raise funds to
save and change the lives of sick and disabled babies and children. The running
quartet is hoping to raise £4,500 with a string of fundraising events including,
a race night, in March. "Being parents, and having friends and
family with children, means that running and raising money for Action Medical
Research was an easy choice for the 4 of us to make. Not only is our aim to
raise as much money as possible, but we also want to inspire people to realise
that anything is possible!" said a spokesperson for the event. For
65 years Action Medical Research has helped pioneer treatments and ways to
prevent disease that have benefited millions of people in the UK and across the
world. Research they've funded has helped to beat polio in the UK, develop
ultrasound in pregnancy, fight meningitis and prevent stillbirths. Action
Medical Research is currently funding research into meningitis, Down syndrome,
epilepsy and premature birth, as well as some rare and distressing conditions
that severely affect children. If you'd like to run for a reason and
