I may be a little mad, but I have committed to completing a half marathon at the Run Leicester Festival 2026 on Sunday 11th October, and I’m thrilled to share that my daughter will be joining me on this journey.

As the Matron at LOROS Hospice, I have the privilege of witnessing firsthand the profound impact of the compassionate care provided to terminally ill patients and their families during their most challenging moments.

LOROS relies heavily on the generosity of kind-hearted individuals to fund this vital care. The support we receive ensures that every person is treated with dignity and compassion, regardless of their background or ability to pay. This cause is close to my heart, and I am determined to push myself beyond my comfort zone to complete this run.

I would be deeply grateful for any donations you can make towards our new target of £750. Your contribution will help LOROS continue delivering exceptional care. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most.
