I am taking on the Great North Run for Derian House Children's Hospice in Chorley. They provide care and respite for children with life limiting or life shortening conditions. To provide their services to the babies, children and families of the NW of England it costs them over £6m this year - with less than 30% of this provided by any statutory funding.

Derian House looked after my neice Sadie a few years ago in her last few weeks of life , the staff do a fantastic job and any money contributed would be greatly appreciated.
