So, I know that anyone who knows me (or saw my posts from the time I entered the Cardiff half marathon) will know how much I hate running and that I vowed I would absolutely never do it again....! 

But there was only ever going to be one person that would make me feel like I could and should ... I just can’t believe she’s not here to witness me attempting to have a more positive take on it this time !  I’m sure she would laugh to see me entering again, as she witnessed my joyless response following the last effort ..!  Because never was there anyone who showed positivity and courage  like our beautiful Belle, who so desperately needed that life-saving transplant that just didn’t come on time. 

I don’t think any of us can believe or understand that we will never see her again.  

But the light amongst all of this was that those painful times were made better by a number of amazing charities who work closely with children with potential life-limiting illnesses. 

So now there is Belles Story.. her legacy, the charity that lives on in the lives of other children.  

I would really appreciate it if you can find some money.. no amount is too small, to put towards this worthwhile charity in honour of this special little girl. 

So this one’s for you beautiful Belle... I hope you are up there watching and cheering us on... keep shining bright, we miss you xxxxxxxx
