Story
Rachel loved running and had signed up to run the Leeds Half Marathon in 2017. Having previously entered before, this would have been her third Leeds half marathon.
There are currently 33 runners, made up of Rachel's family, her school friends and the St Chad's community who are all running the Leeds Half Marathon in loving memory of Rachel. We are raising money for Winston's Wish, a charity who provide support for bereaved children across the UK.
We range from experienced runners to many who will be taking part in their first ever half marathon. Regardless of our ability, we are all determined to finish and raise money for this fantastic charity.
