Eight-year-old Amelia Corbin from Hamworthy is proving that big hearts come in small packages — and she’s doing it one 2K run at a time.

Amelia has been taking on the Run 2K a Day January Challenge, raising money for Sands, the baby loss charity. The original target was £175, but with four days still to go, Amelia has already raised an amazing £468.45.

Amelia, along with her mum and dad Kayley and Matt, joined Karl in the studio this morning on the Hot Radio Breakfast Show, where we chatted about her incredible achievement and the determination it’s taken to keep going every day.

She also wanted to give a big shoutout to all of her friends at Lytchett Matravers Primary School — who’ve been cheering her on throughout the challenge.

And Amelia hasn’t been doing it alone: Poole Rugby Club also got behind her and joined her for a run last Sunday, helping to make it an even more special moment (and a big boost when the legs are starting to feel it!).

Come and support Amelia’s final run

Amelia’s final run will take place at Ashdown Leisure Centre on:

Saturday 31st January at 15:15

Matt said anyone who’d like to come along is more than welcome — it would be brilliant to see people there to support Amelia and celebrate what she’s achieved.
