This year marks the 10th year of the Balsall Common Fun Run, our annual fundraising event that is once again a huge success! On behalf of everyone at The Lily Mae Foundation, a huge thank you to everyone who participated. Your energy and support helped make the day a great success.
Whether you walked, jogged, ran or raced, your involvement will continue to help us support bereaved families affected by the loss of a baby. Weâre incredibly grateful to have had you with us! đ¤
It was our second year at the Balsall Common Primary School site where the atmosphere and feel to the day was amazing. All of the small businesses who had stalls and pop up stands helped us to make it a great day! A really big thank you to the team from The Boxing Lab that kicked off the race with some warm up activities.
We asked some of the runners who took part in the day how it went..
"Sunday's event was something that I've never experienced before. It was my first ever 5k run, it was my first ever fundraising and I wasn't sure what to expect.
The atmosphere on the day was incredible. It was very emotional to see so many people around me who were there in the memory of their child or a sibling. As a parent of a rainbow baby myself, I felt like I belonged and it was both emotional and inspiring in equal measures.
It was amazing to be able to run together with such a diverse group of people of different ages, backgrounds, abilities, and personal histories."
We'd also like to say a HUGE thank you to our Event Sponsors that helped to make the event such a great success! Without their superb support it would not be possible to hold such events.
We would also like to offer an extra big shout out to our Main Event Partner, Aquarius Interiors Limited!
The support of our sponsors allows us to put on incredible fundraising events that not only raise vital funds in support of bereaved parents and their families
