Raising money for Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice

Charity Registration No. 1076958

<p> Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice provides support to children in South Yorkshire, North Derbyshire, North Nottinghamshire and North Lincolnshire with life limiting conditions, which means the child is not expected to live into adulthood. Our hospice is a relaxed and happy place where families can take a break, have fun and get help with the care they need. We also assist children and their families in their own homes. Our support includes ongoing medical respite care for the poorly child, practical and emotional support for family members, sibling and bereavement support and end of life care.<p> <p> It costs £2.5 million annually to provide this service, and with no statutory government funding, fundraising and public support is vital to our success. By raising money for Bluebell Wood, you are helping us continue to provide care for families in your region who need our help the most. We are a local charity, and every penny raised stays in this area to help children with life limiting conditions enjoy a life of love and laughter.<p>

Yes!! Before you all faint, I am running the London Marathon!!

The closest I have been to a marathon before is tearing off its wrapper! Some people have a midlife crisis and buy a motor bike or run off with someone half their age, but no not me, I thought I'd go for the easy option (and cheapest being a Yorkshireman), BIG MISTAKE!

Please please dig deep for Bluebell Wood. After my recent visit to the hospice I need no more motivation than the children, parents and fantastic staff I met. Reading the notes left by parents to children, brothers to sisiters saying, "I'll see you later", "Goodbye for now" and having two boys myself brought me to tears. My pain is nothing compared to theirs, I'm doing my bit so please do yours and sponsor me.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

By the way does anyone own a mobile crane, I may need one Sunday afternoon.
