There is nothing quite like the atmosphere of a race day, but when a local group laces up their trainers to fundraise for a cause close to their hearts, it makes the miles mean so much more. This weekend, the incredible runners from the Halifax Friendly FC Belles Monday Night Club took to the streets to tackle the challenging Leeds 10K @runforall course—all to raise vital funds for Little Hiccups!
Setting out with an initial target to raise £1,000, the Belles team put months of hard work, sweat, and rigorous preparation into motion. We are absolutely thrilled to share that they blew their goal right out of the water, bringing in a grand total of £1,040 to support our families!
A Clean Sweep of Personal Bests
As if smashing their fundraising target wasn’t enough, the Monday Night Club brought their absolute best form to the tarmac. Every single runner in the group achieved a Personal Best (PB) on the day! To see all that dedicated training pay off in such a spectacular fashion is a monumental achievement, and everyone at Little Hiccups is incredibly proud of their effort and determination.
How This Support Helps
As a Leeds-based charity, Little Hiccups is dedicated to supporting families who have children with additional needs or disabilities. The amazing funds raised by the Halifax Friendly FC Belles will go directly toward helping us provide inclusive stay-and-play sessions, accessible family fun days out, and crucial emotional and practical support networks. Every pound ensures that families across West Yorkshire never have to navigate their journeys alone.
Thank You from the Bottom of Our Hearts
We want to extend a huge, heartfelt thank you to each and every single person who sponsored the Belles, shared the donation links, and cheered them on. To those who stood along the route shouting encouragement and everyone who sent messages of support on the day—your kindness carried the team across the finish line.
A massive well done to the runners. Your hard work and effort completely paid off on the day!
