Here I go again, another little challenge that I have even suggested myself (running the Ipswich half Marathon on September 17th 2023)! However, this was stimulated by the passing of one of our dear friends Mr John Rogers ( Johnnie Rog) earlier this year and by my dear mother Mary Brewster (Mrs B) who passed away in 2002. They were both wonderfully cared for by the staff at St Elizabeth Hospice, Ipswich.

At St Elizabeth Hospice they provided an individualised approach to support both my mother and John, their support in the last months really made a difference to those of us who were nearest to them.

I would really appreciate your sponsorship support as this will give me the impetus, I need to make a HUGE effort to get me over the line. Thank you for your support, Tim.
