My name is Mabel, I am 16 years old and I will be running the Bath and Bristol half marathons this year to raise money for Children's Hospice South West.

These will be my first ever half marathons, I'm really looking forward to them and have found my love for running whilst training for them.

I am a youth ambassador for Children's Hospice South West and am hoping to raise money and awareness for the charity, who provide hospice care for babies, children and young people in the South West who have life-limiting conditions, as well as providing support to their families.

A small donation can make a big difference in the lives of those using the hospices, so any amount is very much appreciated :)
