So, later this year I’ll be celebrating a big birthday. I’ll give you a clue…..it begins with a 5 and end in a 0!

I wanted to something special to celebrate and, after completing 6 half marathons by the time race day arrives (plus numerous other races), I thought it was time to pluck up the courage to enter my first full marathon! I love a challenge and by doing this, I am hoping to raise funds for the Paul Sartori Foundation. This is a very special charity to me and I know how important fundraising is in order for the charity to continue providing vital hospice at home care to the people of Pembrokeshire.

PSF was initiated in May 1981 by a group of Father Paul Sartori’s parishioners, a much loved local priest, who died at the age of 38 in 1980. The Foundation was set up as Father Sartori had recognised a need for hospice care in Pembrokeshire, but unfortunately he became ill himself and died from cancer before the Foundation was formed. Despite these origins, PSF has no religious affiliations and services have always been available to all, its mission is "to provide sustainable services which promote good end of life care in Pembrokeshire"
