2 weeks ago, my 16 month old niece Romy was diagnosed with leukemia (AML). My brother Jack and his partner Kashia have been moved to Bristol (hospital accommodation) where they will spend at least the next 6 months in the hospital supporting their daughter while she undergoes intensive chemotherapy and potentially bone marrow transplants, though we remain optimistic that won't be necessary 

Luckily, the Bristol Children's Hospital have been nothing short of wonderful and are providing Romy with the best care, while doing everything they can to support Jack and Kashia.

I am running the Bristol Half-Marathon on May 14th to raise money for the Bristol children's hospital via The Grand Appeal. I have not raced in 9 years, but intend to complete the race in under 1 hour 40 and will be training intensely over the next 10 weeks.

Any donation, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated.
