Eight year old Evie Hogg runs her first mile for Lungs for Living!

Eight year old Evie Hogg runs her first mile for Lungs for Living!

Evie Hogg is only eight years old but the completion of her first 1 mile run is an inspiration to us all.  Evie was devastated when her beloved Bamby (grandad) was diagnosed with a lung cancer related disease and passed away last year.  She decided to take on the challenge of running her first race, raising money for Lungs for Living at the same time.  We are full of admiration for Evie's achievement.

Evie's father, Matthew Hogg, has tirelessly raised money for Lungs for Living over the past two years, (see here for more information). Clearly he has inspired Evie to follow in his footsteps.  Evie's grandmother, Viv Hogg, told us that, 'Lungs for Living is very close to our hearts and we admire the work it's doing.  We will carry on trying to raise money when we can for this great cause.' 

We are immensely grateful to Evie and her family for their ongoing support and deeply sorry for their loss.

With thanks from all at UCL Hospitals Charitable Foundation to Evie and her family.
