I'm running the Bristol Half Marathon on 5th September to raise money for St Margaret's, and in honour of my dear, loving, brave, creative mother, Angela Sleap (Min), who loved working at the Yeovil hospice and died there last summer.

Anyone who I've talked to about our experiences there will know what a huge difference I felt the hospice made to us. It is such a peaceful and profoundly human place, staffed by wonderful people. My mum was so pleased to be part of it and I was so thankful for it when she needed its care herself.

 All support for this extremely good cause is very much appreciated.

Farewell to Thee! But not farewell
To all my fondest thoughts of Thee;
Within my heart they still shall dwell
And they shall cheer and comfort me.

Life seems more sweet that Thou didst live
And men more true Thou wert one;
Nothing is lost that Thou didst give,
Nothing destroyed that Thou hast done.

Anne Bronte
