Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Don't Lose Hope are a charity local to Bourne that is close to my heart. The mental health counselling has been such a support to local people, alleviating the huge waiting lists for people to access CAMHS services.

Through the Community garden, shed, cafe, shop and Nite Light cafe, they are providing support for people who face all sorts of challenges at various points in their lives, and that includes me too.Whilst I have been coping with all the difficulties of Dad's hospitalisations, declining health and looking after him, Don't Lose Hope through Dom and Nicola Brister, are just about managing to keep me sane.

As a result, I have decided to do something insane and have signed up for "The Grim Reaper" run at Grimsthorpe Castle on Saturday 20th May 2023. That's 10 miles on muddy trails and over some hilly ground, before going home to cook the boys some tea, changing my running kit and going out to do it all over again throughout the night!

Two circuits covering 20 miles in total seemed sensible when I signed up. Please spur me on with your support to cover the distance (and all the training) in the best time possible.
