Action Medical Research is a UK-based charity dedicated to saving and changing children's lives through medical research. Since 1952, they have helped fund breakthroughs in treatments, vaccines, and cures for a wide range of childhood illnesses and conditions, including premature birth, cerebral palsy, and rare diseases. Their work supports some of the best medical minds in the country, with the goal of giving every child the best possible start in life.
This was just one of many fun runs organised to support this incredible cause.
