You all know our wonderful Sophia who welcomes you each week with such warmth. Sophia and I first met when she brought her daughter Olivia to our baby classes years ago. Over the years we became friends and in more recent years she has joined the Squidgers team. She is brilliant at what she does and flys the Squidgers flag with such passion.
Today Olivia ,Sophia’s little girl, took part in the children’s cancer run, a charity which is very close to their hearts and supported them when Olivia was poorly. She smashed it!
Take a little read of Sophia’s post below and if you could spare a few pennies then it would make Olivia’s day ❤️🐙
Olivia, you are one incredible little girl🥹
And she’s done it — through the finish line like lightning…she has completed her run for Children’s Cancer North 🧡
The very charity that helped carry us through the darkest and most heartbreaking time of our lives. A charity that stood beside us when we were scared, overwhelmed and facing the unimaginable, and one that will forever hold such a special place in our hearts.
Watching Olivia cross that finish line today filled us with emotions I can’t even begin to explain. After everything she has been through in her little life, to now see her so determined to give back and help other children and families facing cancer makes me prouder than words could ever say. She truly is the bravest, kindest little soul.
Thank you so much to every single person who sponsored her, donated, shared her page or supported her along the way. Your kindness means more to our family than you will ever know, and every penny raised will help support families going through the hardest battles of their lives.
“Today was emotional, special and a reminder of just how far our beautiful girl has come💖”
