I wanted to set myself a challenge and having never run more than 12k in one stint decided that running the half marathon was a good first step. I decided that raising money for an amazing charity while challenging myself was a good idea and I'm running for Naomi House and Jacksplace.

Naomi House & Jacksplace are hospices supporting life-limited and life-threatened children, young adults, and their families from across the central South of England.Naomi House nursing and medical staff provide individualized care that helps to enhance short lives and allows approximately 550 families to make the most of their precious time with their children. Jacksplace is the only hospice for young adults in the South of England. The medical and care teams offer specialist care, often over many years, and uphold the dignity and independence of young adults accessing the service.Naomi House & Jacksplace will be there on good days, difficult days, and last days.
