I GOT THROUGH! I am FINALLY running VLM 2019 (as well as a few warm up races including MK half, Watford half and various other 10 & 5k's..... love a bit of bling!) to raise money for Willen hospice. 

The staff and volunteers at Willen cared for my friend (and Ella's godfather), Tim Gross and his lovely family during his battle with cancer - both at the hospice and at home, before he sadly passed away in April 2015. 

Their care and support is invaluable and this is my way of saying thank you and remembering Tim

Willen Hospice provides specialist end-of-life care for adults, focusing on four key areas: specialist symptom control, emotional support, spiritual support and care for carers.Often the most distressing aspect of living with life-limiting illnesses is the types of pain and symptoms which can arise. Our team of dedicated staff and volunteers can give compassionate, specialist support to patients, and their family members, to help deal with, as they wish to, the physical and emotional effects of both their illness and treatments.
