Story

Hello,

I have chosen to donate to Naomi House & Jacksplace. They are hospices supporting life-limited and life-threatened children, young adults and their families from across the central South of England. Naomi House nursing and medical staff provide individualised care that helps to enhance short lives and allows approximately 550 families to make the most of their precious time with their children. Jacksplace is the only hospice for young adults in the South of England. The medical and care teams offer specialist care, often over many years, and uphold the dignity and independence of young adults accessing the service. Naomi House & Jacksplace will be there on good days, difficult days and last days.

I am a dad of 2 children a little boy and baby girl. I now can't remember my life before them. My family are my everything. Hearing stories of poorly children or children that are suffering whether it be illness or abuse really hits me hard. So I wanted to do something to give back.

I am a tennis coach, so I have decided to do a 24hour charity tennis event. People can book a 1 hour slot and have any sort of lesson:

  • a private lesson
  • group lesson
  • cardio tennis
  • joint family lesson
  • a muck around hit with me.

I wanted to use my background in tennis to complete this challenge to raise some money for such a good cause.

Thank you so much!!
