Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am lucky enough to be given a Gold Bond place with Saint Francis Hospice which is an absolute privilege and an honour. This will be my first marathon and something which is both exiting and daunting at the same time. 

I first encountered Saint Francis Hospice when my nan, Ivy Lodge, received care back in 1996. 

Unfortunately my sister-in-law Justine Rollinson lost her five-year battle with breast cancer in 2011. She not only spent her final days on the ward, she spent many days there as an outpatient. She loved attending Saint Francis Hospice and she felt it was a place of comfort and solace. The care she received was fantastic. I know how much the support the charity provided for her and her family during the most difficult of times meant to her. 

If you have ever come across St Francis Hospice you will know what a wonderful place it is and what fantastic people work there. 

Thanks 

J.
