Hi all, welcome to my fundraising page.

I have a number of running events coming up and thought it was about time I started to raise money for a good cause, and now I'm more compelled to do so...

I recently lost mum, she did have a few health issues, but it was very sudden. During her many appointments, we met some incredible hospital staff who were fantastic with my mum. About 10 years ago, we experienced the very same with my dad's regular visits to hospital.

The evening my mum was admitted as an emergency to Northern General Hospital, and the evening she passed was the hardest day of my life. What I did witness was some incredible people working under incredible pressure and in some cases in the face of some vile abuse from patients. In the face of NHS funding/mismanagement challenges, I never seen unwaivering dedicated to their profession. I will always remember them.

Therefore, I've decided to raise money for the Sheffield's Hospital Charity, to at least show my appreciation over the years of my parent's care. I will be wearing the charities t-shirts/vests in all my events.

Now, I did say I have a number of events planned. Here's what I've planned so far (I'll keep this update):-
