During the last year, two friends' children found themselves in the care of Noah's Ark Children's Hospital - each for very different reasons.

Both received the most wonderful care and, happily, are now going from strength to strength.

Their parents have spoken in glowing terms of the support they each received.

Throughout it has struck me how very fortunate we are to have this amazing facility right on our doorstep. And so, in doing my first (well, quite possibly only!) half marathon, I'd like to try to raise some funds to ensure that others who need it are able to receive the same kind of professional, warm, caring and compassionate support from Noah's Ark.

If you are able to donate, thank you very much indeed; but if not, thank you for reading this and please give me a wave on the day!

Thanks so much, Sue
