Story

Thanks for stopping by my just-giving page.

I decided to set myself my biggest challenge yet - running the London Marathon in memory of my amazing Nanna Eileen. What better charity to run it for than Sue Ryder, who provided the best possible end of life support to my gorgeous Nanna in St John's Hospice, Moggerhanger. My lovely Nanna was the person who took me with her to St Paul's Church, Bedford when I was only 6 years old, and told me that joining the choir would be a good idea - and all these years later I've completed a music degree, and now work in the music industry, thanks to her encouragement!

Any of you who know me know that running does not necessarily come naturally to me - it's going to be a challenging year, but I cannot wait to pass that finish line next April 2024. 

Any support you can give would be much appreciated - Sue Ryder really is such a fantastic charity, and one that I hold very close to my heart. I hope I do you proud Nanna Ei xx
