Virgin London Marathon 2013 · 21 April 2013 ·

WellChild is the national charity for seriously ill children. Thousands of children live with complex medical needs. Many spend months, or years in hospital because there is no support enabling them to leave. We exist to give these children the best chance to thrive: at home, with their families.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page

Running the marathon has been a lifetime goal of mine and after recieving a lot of encouragement from some of the guys at work I decided to go for it!

I wanted to run for a charity I could identify with and this one really fits the bill. Recently my family suffered the loss of young Jack, who had muscular distrophy. Seeing this and the arrival of my beautiful niece have highlighted the importance of supporting those who work to help children and their families in caring for them. WellChild help in three different ways. They raise money to go towards research projects, they provide nursing care so children can stay in comfort at home as opposed to being continuously ferried between home and hospital and they also aid in developing family homes to better cover the needs of children with serious illnesses. It's such a worthwhile cause and one that needs help. For more information please visit the WellChild charity website:
