Story

<p>Hello. Thanks for visiting my site.</p> <p>For those of you who aren't aware my mum is extremeley ill at present. She is now being cared for full time in a nursing home but before Christmas she moved into Wakefield Hospice for a few weeks respite care. The staff at the Hospice were superb - looking after mum and even ensuring she made it to my brothers wedding.</p> <p>The Hospice is run by the generosity of others. It can cost in the region of &pound;500 per day per patient for care.</p> <p>Although I have run several half marathons before this is the first one for a good cause. Whilst the course record is unlikely to be under threat I am hoping for a PB on the day.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>Any donation is hugely appreciated. Thanks!!</p>
