Story

Hey! Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Over several glasses of vino I somehow decided that running the Oxford half marathon along with 30 or so other Rackers would be a great idea (hhmmm!) and luckily I have managed to coerce Warren to enter it too!

We decided to make the most of the draconian training regime, sore legs and blisters and raise some money for a very worthy charity... the Alexander Devine Children's Hospice...

The Latin translation of hospice is 'a resting place on life's journey, and the Alexander Devine Children's Hospice Service is working to provide more Childrens Hospice Facilities in Berkshire. They now fund two community paediatric palliative care nurses who support families across Berkshire in their own homes, providing much needed respite, palliative care, emotional and practical support. The charity is now working towards building Berkshire's very own children's hospice for these local families which will be supported by a home care team.
