For those who know me, know that I am absolutely not a runner but running Manchester Half Marathon in aid of Together for Short Lives is making it worth while. Any donation at all is hugely appreciate, no matter how big or small.

Together for Short Lives is the UK charity that is here to make sure the 99,000 seriously ill children and their families can make the most of every moment they have together – whether that’s for years, months or only hours. Many of these children have complex conditions and need specialist care 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Our ‘to do’ list is growing daily, and we have one bold ambition: To reach every family caring for a seriously ill child who needs help.
