I'm running to support the wonderful charity Beaumond House Hospice Care, which is a registered charity committed to providing supportive palliative care to patients and their families.

Although I run a lot, a Half marathon of more than 13 miles is definitely a distance out of my comfort zone. I last ran one in 2020, and haven't run in an official event since 2013. I'm hoping to reach or exceed my fundraising target of £100, while also running a personal best at this distance with the charity motivating me to get round.

Beaumond House provides a supportive palliative care service to people living in their own homes during the day and overnight. The Hospice at Home team provide care to enable patients to remain at home and maintain a comfortable quality of life in their own familiar surroundings. The team can help with personal care, emotional support and advice and support for carers and families at home. It also provides end of life care, and respite for carers.

Providing care and support to patients and their families costs Beaumond House around £1.6million every year. This means that around £1million of this needs to be raised through donations to ensure the service can continue.

Thank you to anyone who chooses to sponsor me - exceptionally grateful to all that choose to donate on behalf of Beaumond House.
