    Story

    My Dad was my hero, my friend, supporter and will be my inspiration for completing this run and raising as much money as possible.

    Dad was admitted to hospital on the 6th January 2017 and sadly passed away just 3 weeks later with his illness still undiagnosed.

    Those last 3 weeks of Dads life where so different to what he was used to, Dad was never ill, Never took tablets and had only been in hospital once before, for a hernia operation.

    Dad could not of been happier than he was on the ward, Rookwood A.

    The staff on the ward were always happy, attentive and caring, our NHS gets called every single day and everyone seems to forget that the staff that work on the wards do so because they love the job, they honestly and without prejudice care for each and every patient that comes onto their ward.

    The staff on Rookwood A cared for my Dad, looked after my Mum and supported all of our family and friends in what was the most devastating times of our lives and I am doing this for Dad to say thank you.

    On March the 12th I will be running my first ever Half marathon, the Silverstone half marathon, running around the world famous Silverstone race track, a run of 13.1 miles and in doing so I am hoping to raise some money for Rookwood A, the Ward at Chorley Hospital where my Dad spent the last 3 weeks of his life.

    Please support me by donating what you can.
    Thank you.

    I only started running last year. This will be the furthest distance I have ever covered. I booked onto this run whilst visiting Dad in hospital and asked him if he was ok with me doing it to raise money for the ward he was on. Dad simply said "he would be proud".
