Whilst I am keen runner, it is just starting to dawn on me quite how far 26 miles is&hellip; I therefore have 14 weeks to go and a LOT of training to do!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Dorothy House Hospice is an amazing charity that provides free care and support for patients with life threatening illnesses. They receive only 30% of their funding from the NHS and rely heavily on fundraising and donations to maintain their level of service.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">I will always be so grateful to them for the incredible residential care and support they gave my Mum and my family when she had cancer 10 years ago. As part of this challenge I have pledged to raise &pound;2,000 in sponsorship for them. Any sponsorship you are able to give would be very much appreciated&hellip;as the famous saying goes "every little helps!" </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">&nbsp;</p> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>
