Story

I've worked in the Fundraising Team for just over 13 years, and feel privileged to be part of Naomi House & Jacksplace.

Everyday I see how we help children and young adults with life limiting and life threatening conditions, and their families, through the good days, difficult days and last days.

Everyday I speak with wonderful supporters from all walks of life, young and old who just want to help.

Everyday I see how hard the Fundraising Team work garnering support and coming up with innovative ideas on how we can raise money and awareness for the Hospices.

This last year has been tough for every single one of us. Personally I feel lucky to have kept working, kept relatively healthy and have fabulous family and friends who have kept me sane!

This challenge is going to be hard for me as I'm so unfit, but by taking part in Run 4 Respite (aka walk) it means I can give a little bit back and raise much needed funds for Naomi House & Jacksplace ❤️
