She was just three when doctors confirmed in June 2016 she was suffering from embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma after they found a tumour in her bile duct.

Participants will be running or walking through the park to support the charity and it is hoped a total of £47,500 will be raised for Cancer Research UK.
