In April of last year we received the devastating news that our son Joe had been diagnosed with Leukaemia. The news no parent wants to hear. Joe has been incredible throughout his treatment, which continues until May 2024, and his indomitable spirit has been a source of strength for us all.

Inspired by our amazing daughter Holly, who raised £650 for Young Lives versus Cancer last August, I am running the Chester Half Marathon. This time our chosen charity is the Joshua Tree, another fantastic charity who have supported us through the last year.

If you are able to donate, then it will be hugely appreciated and help many families like ours.
