Here’s to our amazing marathon runners Louis and Natalie who took on this incredible challenge raising both funds and awareness for Little Lifts.
Their dedication, kindness, and determination is truly remarkable, and we cannot thank them enough for their inspiring support!
Louis ran for Little Lifts after his partner Lucy was diagnosed with breast cancer and received our support: ‘It’s been an honour to raise funds for you guys. To be able to help give a little back to others who are just starting their journey means so much. Watching Lucy fight so hard for the last year was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. Running a marathon is easy compared to the battle millions have to endure through this horrible disease.’
Lucy says: ‘My diagnosis completely floored me, you never expect it to be you. When they told me, I just remember feeling numb. No emotions until the nurse handed me this Box full of such thoughtful things that I might need in the coming months. And the flood gates opened – both myself and Louis cried with such mixed emotions and that moment will forever stay with me. A tiny bit of light and love in such a dark moment.’
Natalie says: ‘There was no other charity I would have run the London Marathon for. Little Lifts has been so special to me since I received my Box in 2022. So much thought and consideration goes into every Box. Cancer land can be very lonely. Receiving my Little Lifts Box made me feel so supported, I wanted to give back so that they can continue to support everyone in the UK affected by breast cancer.’
A huge shout out to George who chose to support Little Lifts but had to defer his spot – wishing you a speedy recovery!
