5 year old Willow's running challenge
Willow Johnson, aged 5 years old, wants to help contribute to the fight against Coronavirus by raising money for Age UK Derby & Derbyshire, by running as many miles as often as she can during lockdown.
She misses seeing her Granny, Nanna, Val and uncle Dick and can’t wait to get back to normal.
Willow is a keen runner who very much misses her weekly parkrun so thought that she could help by running and it’s also a nice way to visit granny for a wave from the doorstep.
Any donations, however small are very welcome and will encourage her to keep going. "Run Forest, run" 😊
As of 30th April, she has run 74 miles in total with an outstanding total amount raised of £1,099

Thank you to all who have donated money too. All money raised will be used to help and support local older people.
