Jamie Farquhar (10) and Cerys Firth (11) took on the Edinburgh Marathon Festival’s 2k run in support of the National Deaf Children’s Society.
Two West Lothian siblings have conquered the Edinburgh Marathon Festival’s 2k run in support of the National Deaf Children’s Society.
Jamie and Cerys smashed their original fundraising target, with £750 raised for the charity, which supports the UK’s 50,000 deaf children and their families. Jamie said: “I chose the National Deaf Children’s Society because I love the activities I do with them and I want to keep that going for other deaf children.
Cerys added: “I ran for the National Deaf Children’s Society because my little brother is deaf. It felt amazing to get to the finish line. We both tripped up at the end! I knew I had to finish because if I didn’t, I’d have let lots of people down. I was doing it for Jamie.”
