By the time I run my first half marathon, in September 2025, I will have been a volunteer for Ashgate Hospice for 6 years. Whether it be photographing their events or visiting patients on the ward with my spaniel, Luna, I’ve seen just what an important charity it is.

It wasn’t until last summer that I truly understood how important their care is. Watching the way they treated and supported people I care about made me appreciate them in a whole new way.

So far, the furthest I’ve ever run is 10km…This will be a huge challenge but I’m so proud to be supporting such an awesome charity!
