In March 2025, Blanche ran the RomaOstia Half Marathon to raise vital funds for Immunodeficiency UK and LaSpes ONLUS, who support research into rare genetic diseases like Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS).
Blanche’s close friends lost their son to WAS, and she ran in his memory.
Twenty-five percent of the total funds raised went to Immunodeficiency UK, and to date Blanche has raised over £380 to support our work.
Blanche ran 13.1 miles, and the route took her through the beautiful EUR district of the city to the finish point near the beaches of Ostia. It is Italy’s most popular half-marathon.
From all of us at Immunodeficiency UK, thank you Blanche; we appreciate your support.
Would you like to support our work too? Why not fundraise for us and contribute to Immunodeficiency UK’s vital work supporting individuals and families affected by immunodeficiency?
