Story

Hello! 

I'm immensely privileged to be running the London Marathon in 2019 for Shooting Star Chase.  

Shooting Star Chase is a leading children's hospice charity caring for babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families. SSC determines to make every moment count, supporting families from diagnosis to end-of-life and throughout bereavement with a range of nursing, practical, emotional and medical care. Their bespoke support is free of charge to families and available 365 days a year. Care service includes short breaks at SSC's two hospices (Shooting Star House in Hampton and Christophers in Guildford), Hospice at Home, day care, symptom management, end-of-life care, bereavement care and a comprehensive range of therapies and support groups for the whole family. It costs £10 million a year just to maintain their current level of care. Approximately 10% of that income comes from government funding, so Shooting Star Chase relies on supporters' generosity to keep the service running. 

I hope you'll choose to support me in this crazy endeavour. Shooting Star Chase does untold good for those contending with the unimaginable. Any donation would be greatly appreciated to ensure their invaluable work can continue and grow! 

I look forward to sharing my journey with you over the next months...
