Story

Hey Guys, 

As many of my close friends and family know I undertake charity events every year to raise awareness and funds for charities that mean something to me. Last year I very sadly lost a good friend of mine Su ❤️ she was cared for during her last weeks in St Michaels Hospice. I was lucky enough to visit the hospice and say my goodbyes and saw first hand the care, dignity and passion the staff show, including my sister Nina who is a senior HCA at the hospice. A few months after this I applied to become a Bank HCA alongside my fulltime job as a Training Manager for a care provider, I could not dedicate many hours but really wanted to be part of this fantastic place, I was very lucky to be accepted and I have now experienced first hand what it is like to work alongside these fantastic teams on the in-patient unit and remain as part of the Bank HCA team. The hospice costs around £5 million per year to run and only 16% of this comes from government funding, the rest is from various charity events shops and donations by all you lovely people. 

This half marathon is going to be my hardest challenge to date without a doubt and I really hope I can complete it, I am really not a natural runner but I've started my training and I am actually starting to enjoy it. I would really love your support be it cheering me on or giving me a toot if you see me out training, cheering me on, on the day would mean the world to me ... 3rd of October but more importantly I would be so grateful if you could sponsor me and help me raise some much needed funds for this amazing place. 

Well done if you got this far and thank you for reading.
