I am running the Bedford Half Marathon (the furthest I have ever run 😬 !) to raise money for an amazing local charity - Embrace (formerly Bedford and District Cerebral Palsy Society) who are based in Bedfordshire. They provide a huge amount of support for families living with disabilities including running groups for children, teenagers, young adults, and pre-school children and their families. They also provide invaluable well-being sessions for the parents and carers.

I have personally been involved with the charity for 8 years as they have generously funded music therapy groups for pre-school children with disabilities and families including a volunteer to support us. The work is so rewarding as I see infants with significant physical and health challenges thrive on using music and sound to express themselves, move their bodies, relate to their families, and build relationships with each other. It is time now for me to give something back to the charity. Money raised will continue to help them provide support where it is most needed. Thank you for your support!! Sarah x
