Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have never ran a half marathon before (the furthest I've ever managed is 4 miles!) so this will be a huge challenge for me!

I'm doing this for all those who have lost loved ones in the Marie Curie Hospice in Solihull. The work that our doctors/nurses/physios/OT's/social workers/ bereavement counsellors/volunteers do is amazing, they all care so deeply in making sure anyone faced with terminal illness is supported and cared for in every way possible.

I know we don't like to think about it, but no one knows when they could be affected by terminal illness, and sadly every 5 minutes someone in the UK dies without receiving adequate end of life care. To make sure everyone gets the best care possible we need charities such as Marie Curie. They can only continue to provide this care through the support of the public (70% of their income is reliant on voluntary donations), so please support our challenge!
