Melissa Cooper is running the Robin Hood Half Marathon this September for the fabulous Forever Stars 💜
If you’d like to help her hit her target, both Mel and Forever Stars would be incredibly grateful for any donation.
Mel’s ambition to run this is not only in memory of her nephew Hunter, but also to help raise awareness of the amazing support Forever Stars provide to families during the darkest times.
And if that’s not enough reason to donate a few pounds — her two sons, Kai and Kellan, will also be taking part in the Mini Marathon! 🏃♂️🏃♂️
All in aid of giving back for everything Forever Stars have done for their family.

Meet our next runner… Melissa.
Melissa is taking on the Robin Hood Half Marathon and Mini Marathon in memory of Hunter — running for a little boy who was simply too perfect for this world.
Melissa is also a fantastic supporter of Forever Stars and represents a familiar story within our charity. Looking across our team of runners, people are taking part for many different reasons. Some have been directly affected by baby loss, some run in memory of a loved one, and others simply believe in our mission that no family should face baby loss alone.
What makes our running team different is that when you sign up with Forever Stars, you become part of something. We’re not a charity where you register and only hear from us again on race day. We offer a supportive runners WhatsApp group, our own Strava community and, most importantly, access to charity representatives whenever you need encouragement, support or simply someone to talk to.
Running can be tough. Doing it together makes it easier.
We’re incredibly grateful to Melissa for supporting our Decade of Serenity appeal as we raise funds to refurbish our two Serenity Suites and continue providing vital services to families across the East Midlands.
We still have a few places remaining on our team. If you’d like to challenge yourself, join a supportive community and help make a difference, we’d love to have you with us.
