Run Bournemouth Half Marathon 2025 · 12 October 2025 ·

No parent expects to live longer than their child, but for many of the families we support, this is a reality. Julia's House, the Dorset & Wiltshire Children's Hospice charity provides frequent respite care for children and support for their families at home, in the community and at our hospice.

Story

This year is my 60th birthday 🎈and to celebrate, I don't want parties or presents, oh no! I'm running the Bournemouth half marathon !🤣

I am busy training and although VERY slow, I'm determined to get round the 13 mile course!🏃🏽‍♀️

As many of you know, I volunteer for Julia's House and it's a charity very close to my heart ❤️💙💛

If you are able to, I would be so grateful if you could sponsor me to help me raise valuable funds for this amazing charity!

I am taking on this challenge to help families facing unimaginable heartbreak - the knowledge that their child may not live into adulthood.

Julia’s House provides frequent, flexible care for children with life-limited or life-threatening conditions to give their parents a much-needed break.

Amazingly, Julia’s House has to raise 92 per cent of the money it needs each year to run this vital service which is why I have chosen to support them. Your kind sponsorship will make a life-changing difference to these families.
