Shes raised £3,000 for the British Heart Foundation, with plans to wear a tank top featuring their baby photo and a sign for her dad on race day. Running has been her outlet, helping her process her adoption journey and build mental toughness. Every three minutes in the UK, someone dies from heart disease, inspiring Alicia to turn her heartbreak into a legacy by funding life-saving research.
