James Ballard is raising money for Little Havens Children's Hospice
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Virgin London Marathon 2016 · 24 April 2016 ·

We are Essex's children's hospice. Little Havens provides expert, compassionate care to babies, children and young people living with incurable conditions. We provide all our care and support free of charge to everyone who needs it, thanks to the kindness of the community.

Story

A few years a good friend of mine Andy Nimmo introduced me to Little Haven's Hospice which is a member of Together for Short Lives. This amazing place helps children with life limiting injury, disease, or disability.

The charity is a place of love, life, and laughter and gives an exceptional service to families who otherwise would have limited support during extremely hard times.

Receiving only 18% annual funding from the government the hospice needs to raise £2.5mil a year just to be able to survive.

I'm dusting off my running boots to aim to run the London Marathon for the first time to back them and also in memory of Andy who recently passed away.

Please help me raise some money for this cause.
