My Story

Hi, my name is Lexie and I will be running this years Alder Hey 5k at Southport Pleasureland. Alder Hey Childrens Charity raises vital funds to help make Alder Hey Children's Hospital a truly world-class, patient-friendly hospital for the 330,000 patients and families we care for every year.

In 2019 I was involved in a RTA and as a result suffered a brain hemorrhage. My mummy was told to sign a form that said I might not make it past surgery.. but I did and I'm here to run 5k for the hospital that saved my life. My amazing surgeon and everyone else that looked after me was amazed to see what a normal life I lead now, as that is quite rare after the trauma my little brain went through, which also shows that Jonathan, my surgeon, really is the best! People had to ask me simple questions for days to see if I could remember, I had to have physio daily to try walk with crutches. 

Now, you would never believe I was that same person as I lead a completely normal life with no health complications.

This is my first big fundraising for Alder hey!

So please donate anything you can, to keep saving little people like me 💜
