Hi all, thanks for visiting my page to learn about why I’m running the Great North Run for Butterwick Hospice Care.

They’re an amazing local charity who help to take care of people with life limiting illnesses, and to support their families. They run three hospices, taking care of pain and symptom control, soothing therapies, and bereavement counselling (amongst other things!)

We all had loved ones or knew people who faced awful challenges with life limiting illnesses, and the work of charities like Butterwick is so important for helping ensure people have dignity both in life and in death.

I try and channel my fundraising efforts into running, because I personally find it a huge challenge and hope people recognise that when donating. The Great North Run is sure to be the toughest run I’ve ever completed, so please dig deep to help me raise lots for Butterwick, and make crossing that finish line all the more satisfying and worthwhile!

Many thanks in advance,

Dehenna
