RBS my employer will be sponsoring me £250 and a charitable trust has kindly agreed to match every pound I make, up to £4000, if I run under 3 hours and 45 minutes.

This will be my second marathon, my first was the 2016 Auckland Marathon in New Zealand. 

Why Demelza?

Personally my grandmother, I call her Sasa, volunteered at Demelza for six years in the role of Chairman so I thought it would be a lovely way to raise some funds for her beloved charity who serve such an important role in children's health.

Bringing up children and raising a healthy, happy family is hard work at the best of times. When a child is born with or develops a terminal condition, the emotional and physical impact affects the whole family and can be overwhelming. At Demelza, we focus on supporting each child, young person and family we work with to achieve the best possible life. As specialists in care for young people and family support, we will continue to use our outstanding knowledge, experience and expertise to help families enjoy their lives together.
