Vivien's fundraiser for Julia's House

Vivien Thursby is raising money for Julia's House
In memory of Sophia Thursby

The Great Wiltshire Walk · 11 July 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

The Great Wiltshire Walk is your chance to take on a half or full marathon through some of the county’s most breath-taking countryside, with the iconic Avebury stone circle as your final landmark.

Story

Many of you will know that, in 2024, Sophia lost her 11 1/2 year fight from Ring 14 syndrome. Through the years Julia's House helped Damien and Rebecca care for Sophia at home.

I was involved with Julia's House right from the beginning when they were looking to open a Children's Hospice in Wiltshire and started a campaign to raise £2 million, which we successfully achieved.

I now try to keep helping as, amazingly, Julia’s House has to raise 93 per cent of the money it needs each year to run this vital service. Your kind sponsorship will make a life-changing difference to the families, who are also going through the same, caring for a terminally ill child.
