I’m taking on the brutal 26.2 miles of the Athens Marathon on 10th November to raise funds for WellChild, the national charity supporting seriously ill children and their families across the UK.

Your generous donation, however small, will go directly to provide vital care and assistance to children with complex medical needs through:

• Specialist Nurses: WellChild Nurses help children with complex medical needs leave the hospital and receive care at home, reducing hospital stays and improving family life.

• At-Home Medical Support: provide families with essential medical equipment and resources to ensure children can be cared for safely and comfortably in their own homes.

• Home and Garden Transformations: Through the Helping Hands program, WellChild organises volunteers to transform homes and gardens, creating accessible, safe environments for children with serious health challenges.

• Family Support Networks: offer a community for families dealing with childhood illnesses, providing emotional support and guidance through peer connections and professional advice.

• Advocacy and Awareness: work to raise awareness of the challenges faced by families of seriously ill children and advocates for better support and healthcare services across the UK.

Your donation will help WellChild make a real difference in the lives of families in need. Every £ counts—thank you for your generosity!
