Helen to run Oswestry 10k in aid of Hope House
North Shropshire MP Helen Morgan will be taking part in the Oswestry 10k to raise money for Hope House children’s hospice, a local charity based in Morda.
The MP has set a target of raising £1,000 ahead of the 15th October run to show her support and appreciation of the work done by Hope House in aid of seriously ill children in Shropshire and the border counties.
Local people are encouraged to donate to the fundraising drive, and to come along on the day to cheer on the runners.
Helen Morgan MP said, “I'm running the Oswestry 10k to raise money for Hope House, a fantastic local charity that does vital work supporting seriously ill children in Shropshire, Cheshire, Powys and North Wales.
“Hope House, near Oswestry, cares for babies, children and young people who are not expected to live past the age of 18. The charity makes sure that nobody has to face the death of their child alone. The wonderful staff provide care, counselling and respite while helping families to navigate a terrifying journey.
“Almost everyone in Shropshire and North Wales will know a family who have benefited from this brilliant charity – a charity that deserves all of our support.
“Please give what you can and help support a superb charity that is close to my heart.”
The initial fundraising target is £1,000.
