Story

Thanks so much for visiting our JustGiving page!!

I wanted to do something to give back for the care my mum (Steph) was given, particularly the final month of her life where she was cared for at Hayward House, A Palliative Care hospice based at the Nottingham City Hospital, Nottingham.

The Nurses and staff do an amazing job, so genuinely caring and compassionate to all of the patients no matter what their needs but also towards the families visiting their loved ones. A memory that stays in my mind was one of the nurses that looked after my mum would give her a kiss on the forehead and say "night Steph" as she finished her shift.

Hayward House offered that calm and peaceful environment for my mum to know she was somewhere safe and being well cared for, we had the opportunity to wheel her bed out into the spring sunshine in the lovely garden they have there, where the birds were singing and the wind sculptures were spinning in the breeze.

I have decided to run a marathon event every month of 2019 including the London Marathon in April.

Running alongside me during some of the events will be Katherine Hall, (my future sister in law! ) also taking part in two half iron distance triathlons, (Outlaw and Holkham ) and running her first ultra distance on the waterways 30 with me in January.
