Story

Hi Everyone

In memory of my wonderful Mum who lost her battle with cancer in May 2022, I am raising money for Dr Kershaw's Hospice by running 5km everyday for 55 days, totalling over 170 miles.

I have chosen to do 55 because that's how old my Mum was when she sadly passed away.

My Mum spent her final days in Dr Kershaw's. The facilities are amazing and the staff do an absolutely fantastic job. I cannot thank them enough for what they did for my Mum and family. They provided us with so much support and I feel that it is only right for me to repay the favour.

The runs will start and finish at Dr Kershaw's Hospice in Royton and you are all more than welcome to join me for as many as you would like. You can walk, jog, run or ride it with me.

I will make a group on Facebook to keep everyone updated and all the details will be posted on there.

I will be starting at 12pm Sunday 24th July 2022. The day before my Mum's birthday. Hope to see some of you there

All your donations will be greatly appreciated x
