Marathon with a Hod of Bricks · 30 May 2020

Zoë's Place provides 24-hour palliative, respite and end-of-life care to infants aged 0-5 years with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions. We provide short-term regular care with our dedicated nursing staff, in a home from home environment to give parents and carers a well deserved break.

Story

As you know I have completed some big challenges for Zoe's Place over the past few years all with my hod of bricks weighing around 4st. 

I completed the 3 peaks challenge in 22 hours, Completed the Coventry Half Marathon in 3 and a half hours and also last year I reached the summit of the worlds largest free standing mountain Kilimanjaro. I have raised over £13,000 for this special cause which is very close to my heart as a parent myself. 

Zoe's Place has been hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic with all of their fundraising streams from events, community groups and local companies completely drying up. Zoe's Place relies on people fundraising to continue offering respite, palliative and end-of-life care  to local children with life-threatening conditions. 

I am going to do my bit to help and complete a marathon on Saturday 30th May 

The route is down Rosslyn Ave then up Shorncliffe in a loop. It’s 0.6 km and hilly so I will need to complete 70 laps to equal the marathon! As far as I’m aware it’s a first! It will be the longest I’ve ever carried the Hod, quite simply 8-10 hrs of pain! 

Please support me if you can, we can make a huge difference to the lives of local families who need our help
