We care for children with shortened lives to support them and their families.

Story

Inspired by other Children raising money for the NHS, Sophia and Luca decided they wanted to make a difference to a local charity.  

Ever the ambitious children Sophia and Luca decided they could run a marathon, Daddy (fun sponge) however pointed out this may be  a little far.  So the solution came to breakdown the 26 miles (40km) over 8 consecutive days.  

Starting 23rd April they will run 5km a day for 8 days.  

Bluebell Wood is a fantastic organisation and one that is utilised by a family friend so we know what a great job they do.  Finding over £11k a day in donations to remain operational is no small requirement and with hospices being under financial pressure at this time due to the current Covid-19 pandemic the task is even tougher.  

About the charity

At Bluebell Wood we provide care to children & young adults whose lives are sadly just too short; both in their own homes and our hospice in North Anston. We believe that every family deserves to make magical memories with their child, we need to raise £14,000 each day to keep our doors open.
