As part of Greenwood Projects' 40th anniversary celebrations, I'm running my first half marathon to raise money for St Giles Hospice, a charity that means so much to many local families.

St Giles Hospice provides outstanding care and support to people living with a terminal illness, as well as their loved ones, helping them through some of the most challenging times in their lives. Their work makes a real difference, ensuring that no one has to face the end of life alone.

Training for a half marathon is a huge challenge for me, and there will definitely be moments when I question why I signed up! Knowing that I'm raising money for such an important cause will help keep me motivated every step of the way. If you're able to donate, no matter how big or small, I'd be incredibly grateful. Every contribution will help St Giles continue providing vital care and support to local families when they need it most.

Donating through JustGiving is quick, easy and secure, and your donation goes directly to the charity.

Thank you for your support, it really does mean a lot xx
