On October 12 Patrick and I will run the Oxford Half marathon raising funds for Style Acre. This will without doubt be the most emotional fund raising event we have taken part in.

On 27 January this year my nephew Josh lost his battle with life; he passed away far too young at the tender age of just 22! Despite his life limiting illness Josh was not expected to pass away so young. A shock to us all.

In the last 6 months of Josh’s life he had moved to an amazing home in Oxford with 3 other house mates. The house was run by Style Acre and having recently visited the home I can attest to what a great place it is. It is a home filled with laughter, music and fun and Josh loved it there. His dad Nick said that Josh’s life had been an uphill struggle and only recently when he had moved into his new home, did it feel as if they were winning the battle/struggle

We are determined to raise a significant sum for the charity and I will be joined on the run by Patrick, Lizzie, my brother Nick and my sister Philly.

Please dig deep.
