On behalf of Out of the Blue, I am running the Oxford Half Marathon in support of Helen & Douglas House - a children's hospice in Oxford that gives respite care for children and young adults with life limiting illnesses, as well as vital grieving support for close family and friends. 

I've visited the hospice a number of times and seen first hand the amazing work that the hospice does for the children who need its care and their families. Contrary to what you might expect, the hospice is a wonderfully uplifting place to be, the staff are inspiring, and it is a pleasure to be able to support the charity by singing for the children there. I want to be able to continue my support for the charity by raising some money for them too!
