As I'm sure most of you know, we lost our beautiful Mum, Tracey Hoare, this year to cancer after loosing her long, hard battle on the 4th January 2021.

During her final weeks, our mum was cared for in Sobell House Hospice. To show our appreciation, we decided that we wanted to do something to help raise more vital funds for them so they can continue to provide the outstanding level care for other people's mums, dads, brothers, sisters, husbands and wives in the same way they cared for our Mum. We will therefore be running the Oxford Half Marathon on 17th October 2021 for Sobell House Hospice Charity.

We both ran the Race For Life many years ago which is only 3 miles. We’ve never managed the distance of a half marathon before and we are somewhat daunted by the prospect of it but we are determined to do this for our Mum. She showed her bravery and determination until the very end and this is what we will do, even if it means crawling to the finishing line!

We’d love to raise as much as possible for Sobell House and to give us the motivation we really need! We would appreciate any amount anyone would like to sponsor us.

All funds raised will go directly to Sobell House to enable them to give other families the help so desperately needed at a time like this.

Thank you for reading and for helping us. We always want our Mum to be remembered for the beautiful, strong lady she was and we will continue to do this and stand by her wish of supporting Sobell House in everything we do in the future.

Lots of love Danielle & Jade
