Phoebe's Junior Great North Run

Phoebe is 9 years old, and her big sister, Keira, is 14 years old. Keira has a condition called Kleefstra Syndrome. Keira has severe learning difficulties, is hypermobile and hypotonic, and is also autistic. Keira regularly visits the Tim Lamb Centre, and loves their sensory room, trampolines, and soft play area. Phoebe also enjoys going there with Keira, so it is somewhere that they can have fun together.

It can be difficult finding places that Keira can go where she feels relaxed and isn't overwhelmed by noise and activity, so Phoebe liked the idea of taking part in the Junior Great North Run to raise money to support a place where her sister is happy.
