On the 4th July I’ll be dragging myself and my creaking knees 10 kilometres around Brands Hatch. This will be my second 10k of 2025 and considering I struggled to get up and down stairs 18 months ago is quite the achievement.

I’m running on behalf of the Heart of Kent Hospice and would be very grateful for any donation you would care to give.

We know that terminal illness turns lives upside-down. We help people live as well as possible for as long as possible and ensure their final days are comfortable and peaceful. We support families, friends and carers too. We depend on your kindness for 80% of the cost of delivering our services.
