Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Following on from last year, our challenge for this year for 2020 is to complete a journey of 1667 miles covering a distance the equivalent of 'Chesterfield to Berlin' and back, helping to raise much needed funds for Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice.  This will be done through our training runs, various half marathons, 10 km runs & 5 km runs.  We have now secured places for the prestigious Great North Run in September and will also be taking part in the annual Worksop Half Marathon.   As part of this years challenge we are also going to undertake the 'Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge' which consists of walking 24.5 miles in under 12 hours - what a challenge this will be!  We've also got other things planned - A boat pull (Dawne Rose) on the Chesterfeild Canal, stalls on the medieval market & Christmas market, fashion shows & we're also taking part in the Soap Box Derby. 

Bluebell Wood have to raise a massive 90% of funds to keep their Charity going with only 10% provided by the Government each year.  It costs over £4 million a year to keep the Hospice open.

Currently they are supporting over 300 families from across the region in both their Hospice and the Community, and are one of only 53 Children's Hospices in the Country offering care and support to parents and their children with a shortened life expectancy.  They give families the gift of time with their children to create unforgettable memories.

As part of their care they offer short breaks, end of life treatment and care, emergency admission, counselling, home visits and activity therapy sessions.  These are just a few of the wide ranging care services they provide.

Through your sponsorship we are helping them to provide the much needed help and support which families need during the hardest times they will ever have to face.

After visiting the Hospice on many occasions now, it hits home what a truly amazing job they all do and how they rely so much on all the help and support from people like ourselves and you.

If you would like to follow us on our journey for 2020 there will be regular updates on our blog on our Facebook page and this site (you can find us on Facebook by searching for Al Nic Jo).

Thank you for taking the time to read our story.  Any sponsorship/donations is so gratefully appreciated.  

(Since 2013 we have raised nearly £15,000 for Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice.  This wouldn't have been achievable without the help and encouragement of all our supporters for which we are truly grateful)
