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

I am running the London Marathon to raise funds for Jersey Hospice Care because I passionately support the incredible, crucial and life changing services and care offered to patients and their loved ones by Jersey Hospice.

I spent quite a considerable amount of time at Jersey Hospice Care visiting a very special friend who received end of life care there.  I was both amazed and comforted to witness the degree of care, both physical and emotional, tirelessly delivered by the Jersey Hospice Care team.

More recently we very sadly lost my Dad and whilst Dad didn't spend any time under the care of Jersey Hospice, the incredible bereavement support services offered by the charity have been invaluable to my family.

It costs just under £6 million each year for Jersey Hospice Care to provide its services and 92% of this is self funded, yet all the services offered to patients and their families remain free of charge.

On a personal level, I'd like to complete the marathon in as close to 4 hours as possible but, really, I just feel blessed to be able to enter and to have met the incredible people that I have during this journey.
