On 7th April, I will be running the Brighton Marathon in aid of Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice.

When deciding which charity i wanted to support in the build up to the Marathon, Noah's Ark was an easy choice as my company have fundraised for them before and seen the amazing work that they do to support children with life limiting or life threatening illnesses and their families.

Noah’s Ark only receive 7% of the £6million needed to run their services every year from the government, so every pound you donate will make a huge difference for families facing the unimaginable.

As you may know, Noah's Ark are one of the UK’s leading children’s hospices, providing care for over 350 families every year across North and Central London, including families in Hertfordshire. They help those we support to enjoy life as children and teenagers, rather than as patients; and as parents and siblings, not just as carers.

I know that every moment together is precious for the families they support, and I want to make sure these moments count.

I can't say that i am looking forward to running 26.2 miles along Brighton's coast but once the event is over, I can go home knowing that my efforts have been worthwhile as the money raised for this amazing charity will be put to such amazing good use.
