As many of you know in 2018 we lost a friend, a brother, a son, a uncle, a hero, Grant.

It's now coming up the the 6th anniversary of Grants passing and I have been lucky enough to win a ballot place in the TCS London Marathon. The marathon will take place on Sunday 21st April 2024.

Winning a ballot place means that I don't have to raise any money and can just run the 26.2 mile course around London. However, there is no chance I am running without raising money for a good cause!

I want to raise money for a place that was close to Grants heart, Russells Hall Paediatric Emergency Department. Grant worked at the hospital for a number of years and even has his own 'Chill Out Room' named in his honour at the hospital. The room is where children can go and play to take their mind off the illness they might be suffering with. The room is full of toys, games, books and PS5/Xbox's for the teenagers.

As you can imagine, lots of sick children use the room daily, so the toys, games, books and computers regularly need replacing and refreshing.

This is where you need your help!

We are asking you to give as little or as much as you can afford to support the ongoing costs of running Grants Room. Anything you can give will be very much appreciated by the sick children who use Grants Room on a daily basis.

Thanks again,

Lee
