HULL 10K - Croda

Created by tara oneill 7th February 2013 This event has closed

Story

Loubie was a beautiful 13 month old little girl, loved by all who knew her but on the 6th January she was rushed to hospital and died an hour later of meningococcal septicaemia. As a family we knew nothing of meningitis other than what you read in newspapers, and you never expect it to happen to you, and we certainly didn't expect it to happen to our beautiful little Loubie. We are trying to come to terms with this devastating news, and we are doing all we can to help raise awareness and funds for Meningitis UK who have been amazing helping my sister and her two other children Erica Jaye and Emma. Croda HR + Friends will be taking part in this year’s Hull 10k to raise money for Meningitis UK. The event takes place on Sunday 19th May, Hull City Centre at 9.00am. The Team: Tara O'Neill, Lindsay Powell, Sam Brook, Ruth Ellway, Katie Ditch, Joanne Clarke, Judith Johnson, Michaela Kilding, Rebecca Murray, Sarah Groves, Sarah White and Kerrie Harris. Please donate all you can. Thank you for your support Tara. We also have some wrist bands and pin badges for sale (see gallary picture) at £2.00 each.. if you would like to purchase any please contact me.
