Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

August 2nd - Jane Tomlinson York 10k completed in 1.15:09 - and I'm done!

April 3rd - Wakefield Hospice 10k successfully completed in 1.12:28, and I'm half-way to my goal!

After 10, or even 20 years of inactivity and sloth I have decided to get myself out and running, and while I'm running I might as well be sponsored for it - AND what better cause to run for than the Hospice I work for in Wakefield?

Wakefield Hospice has just celebrated it's 20th anniversary and provides a vital service to the communities of Wakefield District, West Yorkshire. Only around 18% of our running costs come from the National Health Service and the rest is raised through our Charity shops, donations and sponsorship like this - and the total annual cost of keeping the Hospice running is currently around £3.1 million... 80p of every £1 donated is spent on patient care.

I'm putting myself into 2 events during the year, so hopefully you'll double your sponsorship on that basis - or perhaps sponsor me twice! The events are:

April 3rd - The 16th Annual Wakefield Hospice City 10k Road Race (for which we have a Hospice team running - The Wakefield Hospice Hedgehogs!), and July 31st - The 3rd Annual Jane Tomlinson's Run for All, York 10k.

- 10 kilometres is just over 6.2 miles in imperial measures...

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 Hospice and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the Hospice.

So please dig deep and donate now. Many thanks!
