I am running to support the great work of The Norfolk Hospice.

It is a cause close to my heart after seeing my mother spend her final days in the bleak surroundings of a care home and visiting my father-in-law who spent the last months of his life in an NHS hospital - the staff were dedicated and caring but the ward he was on was thoroughly depressing.

You have to visit the hospice to appreciate it as a place so full of life with such a positive atmosphere.

I am part of the hospice's fund-raising team for the marathon and you can log our training progress on the EDP24 website and in the EDP.
