Sophia and Luca's Marathon effort · 23 April 2020

At Bluebell Wood, we care for babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions. We support hundreds of families, both in our hospice and in family homes. It costs around £6.7m to keep our doors open for families across South Yorkshire and beyond. We receive 17% Statutory funding.

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.
