Hi again!
After my last exploits at the Bristol half Marathon I never thought I would be creating this page for another, this time Bath!
The training has now started in earnest after Christmas and boy does it hurt, I really regret now all that turkey and drinking that took place.
The cause I'm running for this time with my brother-in-law Matt is close to our hearts.
Matts Grandad and mine in-law started to set up the Hospice on the Isle of Wight in the early seventies, as nothing existed on the Island at the time and It now remains the only Hospice on the island. What Bruce Charman didn't realise would be that 30 years later he would be using the hospice as a patient. They provided him with amazing care and also the additional support and filip to fight the cancer that he needed. He still visits them now on a weekly basis and has been turned into a budding artist a talent found late in life!
The running of such a valuable service does not come cheap, around 2 million a year and whatever you can give will go forward to making sure that the Earl Mountbatten Hospice continues in the excellent work it carries out for the people of the Isle of Wight.
Many thanks and hope to see some of you down there either running or supporting.
