On 17th May 2026, I’ll be running a half marathon in memory of my Nanna, who passed away in late 2024.

Dove House Hospice cared for my Nanna during one of the hardest times our family has faced. The compassion, dignity, and support they gave her meant more than I can put into words. They didn’t just care for her; they gave us comfort, time, and reassurance when we needed it most.

This charity is incredibly close to my heart. Dove House has also supported other people my family cares deeply about, including my partner’s uncle, and seeing first-hand the difference they make has stayed with me.

The opportunity to run the Great Ocean Road Half Marathon (23km) came about unexpectedly, however this feels like the perfect opportunity to honour my Nanna and give something back to a hospice that does such important work for so many families.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help Dove House Hospice continue providing specialist care, comfort, and support to patients and their loved ones when it matters most.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, for donating, and for supporting something that means a great deal to me.

You can track my training progress on my Strava.
