I have been inspired by what people have done in their gardens to raise money for the NHS, and decided to have a go myself. 

I chose St Barnabas because the work they do complements the NHS, but their fundraising has been curtailed by the Covid-19 lockdown.  I also wanted to support them because of the outstanding care they have given to friends, especially to  'The Busker', my friend Ted Young, in whose memory I am doing this.

I am nearer to 80 than 75, and my knees not up to running marathons (they're not really up to running at all!) so I decided to use the grandchildren's trampoline instead.

St Barnabas House is a charity based in Worthing which provides palliative and end of life care to adults with life-limiting illnesses. We believe everyone facing life-limiting illness should receive the care and support they deserve. Our mission is to provide dignity, comfort and choice for adults who need specialised, supportive care. Your generous support helped to provide specialist supportive care for 1,786 local people and their families at the hospice and in the comfort of their own homes last year.
