The Half & Half Challenge

A Half Marathon with a Difference

This is a little bit different to our usual events and is very much about community, support and doing something positive together for one of our own, Kirsty Brunt.

The event is open to Be Strong members and friends who are comfortable completing the running element as part of a group.

The format will be:
🏃 One mile running
🚶 Fifteen minutes walking
🔁 Repeat until 13.1 miles is completed

We’ll head out in two groups, there’ll be lots of run backs, regrouping and encouragement along the way… and as always at Be Strong, nobody gets left behind.

Water and Jelly Babies will be provided.

Jacobs Join at Be Strong afterwards – please feel free to bring a celebratory drink!

Kirsty Brunt

Help Kirsty be here for more tomorrows and the moments that matter 💛

Kirsty is just 42 and living with secondary breast cancer.

Diagnosed while 25 weeks pregnant in 2023, she underwent chemotherapy whilst carrying her baby, before continuing through surgery and further treatment with incredible strength, humour and determination.

Now, the cancer has progressed and mutated into a more aggressive HER2-positive form, bringing new challenges and urgency.

Despite everything, Kirsty is still being mum, still smiling, still fighting.

We are raising funds to help her access urgent scans, specialist opinions and advanced treatments not currently available on the NHS, giving doctors the best possible chance to act quickly and effectively.

This isn’t just about funding treatment.

It’s about giving a mum more time with her children.
