Updated. Thanks everyone for your support. Cambridge Half completed on Sunday 8 March. It is a great event, well run and super course. I ran the Liverpool Half Marathon on a very wet and windy Mother’s Day on Sunday 15 March. This is part of an ongoing effort to raise money for Royal Papworth Charity. Thanks for support of so many. There is still time if you wish to make a contribution. Thanks for all your support

Royal Papworth Charity adds additional value to the ground-breaking work of Royal Papworth Hospital – the UK’s leading heart and lung hospital. There is a local connection for me as many close family members live in the area, have worked, or been treated in the hospital

With increasing pressures on the NHS, the Charity plays a vital role in ensuring that the Cambridge based hospital, which treats around 50,000 patients a year, continues to provide:

• specialist equipment that could aid a patient’s recovery

• last-minute on-site accommodation for patient’s relatives who travel far to be with their loved ones

• staff education and training to ensure patients continue to receive the best care and treatment

• research that pushes the boundaries in treating heart and lung disease.

Patients, their families alongside our staff and volunteers are at the heart of everything the charity, this is all made possible by the generosity of our supporters.
