A national children's charity based in the Midlands is aiming for its team to raise enough money to pay for a new children's therapy tricycle.

Caudwell Children, whose main benefactor is businessman and philanthropist John Caudwell, provides family support services, equipment, treatment and therapies for disabled children and their families across the 海角视频.

It also runs an Enable Sport programme for talented disabled athletes and Destination Dreams holiday for children fighting life threatening conditions.

The Staffordshire charity has entered a team of six runners, who are aiming to raise over £1,000.

The team includes Helen Brandley, Katie Ashton, Elaine Revans, Garry Medlock, Gareth Aston and Kirsten Greaves, Caudwell Children's Challenge event coordinator.

"It's the first time we've entered a team into the Business Challenge and only my second half marathon," Ms Greaves said.

"As well as raising the money to buy a new therapy trike, we're aiming to get more runners than ever taking part on our behalf and have a really notable presence at the run."

Organisers of the Bupa Great Birmingham Run hope to beat the record 20,000 runners who took part in the 2013 run, which reached capacity a week before the event.
