Story

🌟 Why We’re Raising Money 🌟

We’re raising money for Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice, a place that gives love, care and support to children with life-shortening conditions and their families during the hardest times imaginable.

Our son Noah, who is just 7 years old, decided he wanted to help after hearing us talk about our Christmas fundraising. He asked, “How can I help the poorly kids get more money?” — and from that moment, he made a promise to run a mile a day throughout November.

Noah has shown incredible kindness, determination and heart. He checks his JustGiving page every morning, reads every message of support, and sets out on each run thinking about the children he’s helping.

Every penny raised goes directly to Bluebell Wood, helping families create precious memories and receive the support they desperately need.

Thank you so much for supporting our boy and this amazing cause. 💜

At Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice, babies, children, and young people with life-limiting conditions are cared for alongside their families. Services include overnight care, music therapy, counselling, sibling support groups, home visits, and more.

Running the hospice costs around £6.5 million a year, with statutory funding covering only 16%. The rest is raised through generous donations from the community. Your contribution will make a real difference to families across South Yorkshire and beyond.
