After DIY SOS, we did the 24 hours on a treadmill. That stung, and we raised a load of money.

This year, I am running a 100 mile route around the Peak District in, hopefully, under 36 hours to help keep the lights on for a bit. This will also sting but I will at least have a view.

The event is the Peak Running Millstone. Enough about the what’s, here’s the why.

It still baffles me that places like this rely so heavily on the goodwill and charity of businesses and individuals holding events and doing bonkers stuff.

I truly wish I had known about grief counselling when Tanya’s mum passed away, I’ve never felt so helpless.

I want to remind people that a little help is there if you are struggling and need it. It affects all of us differently and you’ll never know how it affects you until it happens.

Treetops Hospice is the leading end of life care charity for Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

They provide nursing care and emotional support for adults with life-limiting conditions, those who’ve been bereaved, and their families. Their services are available free of charge, from diagnosis onwards.

They offer end of life nursing in patients’ own homes, counselling for grieving children and adults, personalised wellbeing support and confidential advice.

It costs £4.2million each year to run Treetops 70% of this is fundraised.

If you could help me help them by chucking the price a beer or a coffee in the pot, that would be awesome. Give yourself a warm fuzzy feeling.😁

I will be feeling warm and fuzzy for different reasons.😂

Treetops and myself thank you for your support,

Dave.
