Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Having run the Southampton half marathon last year, to raise funds for Butterfly Children's Hospices, and having 'survived' it, I am now going the extra mile (well in this case 26.3 miles) by running the Southampton full marathon on 23rd April 2017. I am really pleased again to be doing this in support of Butterly Children's Hospices.

I was fortunate enough to visit their hospice in Changsha (China) in 2013 and as soon as I stepped in the door, I felt very moved and a real overwhelming sense of the children being surrounded by love and care by the team of dedicated staff. 

Each day is precious for the children and at the hospice they strive for hope, never giving up on helping the children to feel love and joy as they value and cherish each child, no matter how long or short their life.

I feel very privileged to be part of their journey and today you can be part of this as well, making a real difference through the monies you might kindly give. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you for your support.

Julie.
