Story
I'm running both the Bath and Bristol Half Marathons raising money for Children's Hospice South West.
In their own words:
We offer a home from home where babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions and their families can take a short break away to re-charge their batteries in a homely, warm and welcoming environment. Providing a much-needed break from the ongoing strains of caring for their children at home, juggling professional and medical appointments as well as maintaining family life and employment. In the main, we provide the chance for families to get away from it all, but we also offer emergency and palliative care in a peaceful and comfortable setting.
My mum volunteers for CHSW and through her I see and hear about all the people working tirelessly to support this wonderful charity. After spending some time on the cheer station at the 2025 Bristol 10k I felt moved to challenge myself and raise money for CHSW in 2026.
I will also be running for Isla-Rose BC, who I never met and who was cared for by children's hospices, and whose family is my family now too.
