FOR a seven-year-old girl, she certainly does have a big heart.
Hannah Gregg, from Kew, deservedly earned headlines in the Southport Visiter earlier this year when she was awarded one of our ‘Community Heroes’ awards.
The Kew Woods Primary School pupil was lauded after saving her mum’s life.
Now, she is literally dashing to the aid of her family again.
After hearing that her Auntie Julie had cancer, Hannah was quick to sign up for the Southport Visiter 3K fun run, an event in which young people – and indeed family members of all ages – will be doing their bit to raise funds for Queenscourt Hospice.
Hannah’s is one of many entries we have received here at Tulketh Street, and though her motivation for taking part is incredibly noble, the reasons behind other participants donning their running shoes are varied.
Many of them enjoyed the fun run we held in Victoria Park last year and want to come back and do it all again, others are big supporters of Queenscourt, a few fancy a bit of keep-fit, some want to be part of Southport’s latest community event.
Nearly everyone we have spoken to though just wants to come down and join in what is guaranteed to be a fantastic, family fun event in a picturesque town centre park.
They will be launched on their way by Everton Football Club player Alan Stubbs and geed on by Southport racing legend Michael Rimmer, before older and keener athletes limber up for the Dune fm 10K Seaside race.
To anyone who has not yet signed up for either event, please get your entries in as soon as you can, for what will be a great day out for families in Southport – and hopefully a great boon also for Queenscourt Hospice.
We look forward to seeing you there!
