DEVOTED mum Tiffany Rose will tackle the 10km Gold Coast Airport Marathon run next month to raise money to help critically ill children

Mrs Rose, 39, from Benowa Waters, said her two children, Genevieve, 4, and Zachary, 6, would be cheering her on at the finish line of the Southern Cross University 10km run on July 4.

“My kids mean everything to me,” she said.

And that’s why Mrs Rose and 65 other employees of Wyndham Vacation Resorts will be wearing red noses during their run to raise money for the SIDS and Kids foundation.

SIDS and Kids helps save the lives of babies and children during pregnancy, birth, infancy and childhood, and supports bereaved families who have experienced Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

“The charity we are fundraising for really inspired me to do the run,” Mrs Rose said.

“I look at my two little kids and think about how incredibly blessed I am to have them healthy and alive.

“To be honest, I have never enjoyed running but fundraising for the charity really reminded me to prioritise my health so I can be an active part of my kids’ lives.”

Barry Robinson, president and managing director of Wyndham Vacation Resorts Asia Pacific, said it was important for the company to support important causes such as SIDS and Kids.
