Charlie House is a north east  based  charity which "engages in activities and projects to support children with complex disabilities and life limiting conditions." 

That's a posh way of saying they look after dying kids and their families. Did you know that if you have/are a child needing hospice care in Aberdeen, there is NOWHERE in the North East it can be provided. 

Already these guys 

• run a monthly Saturday Club
• organise days out for siblings
• organise short breaks
• provide support and and information service

But the biggie is a HUGE capital project:- building a specialist care facility for this group of children and their families, here in Aberdeen.

Now, if that were not enough, you have me, running (and I use the word loosely) a half marathon. Honestly? I'm really struggling. I WOULD NOT sign up for this, if I had my time over again. I will never run another race, although I mean to try to keep up my fitness levels after it's all over.
