Raising money for The J's Hospice

Charity Registration No. 1099562

The J’s Hospice Charity was founded by Denise Whiffin in 2004 in memory of her late son Jonathan who suffered from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy he died in January 2002, aged 19. <p> Throughout the United Kingdom there are thousands of people aged of 18 to 40 with life limiting conditions that could benefit from our services. At present there is one hospice in the United Kingdom specifically for this age group. The J’s Hospice Charity is striving to raise £5 million to build the first stand-alone hospice in the United Kingdom for this age group it will be built in Essex, primarily for people from the East of England. It will have 10 ensuite bedrooms and facilities for recreation, entertainment and study in a relaxed environment, together with accommodation for families and friends. <p> We have just secured funding from the Mid Essex Primary Care Trust to set up Outreach at Home. This service will offer care, support, short home respite, end of life care and bereavement support in the home to 18 to 40 year olds, including their families, friends and carers. We will need to raise £150,000 a year to keep Outreach running and this cost will increase as the service grows. <p> The J’s Hospice Charity is looking and acre of land in Essex to build the hospice it is estimated that £5 million will be needed to build, furnish and equip the hospice with a further £2 million a year to run it. <p> For further information email info@thejshospice.org,uk.

Hi everyone, as most of you know I have spent the last 10 months trying to lose the dreaded 'BABY' weight and then some!!

So far I have lost 4stone 4lbs and I'm still going strong well most of the time anyway!!!!!!!!

What started as a stagger up the road trying not to collapse from a lack of breath has now turned into something I really enjoy and I now run between 7 and 10 miles when I go out which is most days.

I have now decided to take things to the next level and set my sights just a little higher. Alright they're not just a little higher..................

I hope your ready for this

On 25th April 2010 I will be running the London Marathon for a fantastic charity based in Chelmsford called the J's Hospice.(Reg No1099562)

The J's Hospice was founded in March 2004 with the aim to build the first environmentally-friendly, stand-alone, age- appropriate hospice for 18-40 year olds with life-limiting conditions in the East of England.

So please help me to help this amazing charity and sponsor me to run the London Marathon and donate as much as you can so I can reach my £2000 target.
