Story

We, as a family have personal experience of the immense relief that is felt when your child is able to be cared for at home, and not in hospital. To have the family together in one place is so important. Sometimes this proves tricky, but as a mum I know first hand the fight that is needed for this to be made possible.

Lottie and I have decided to set ourselves a challenge. To run 3 marathons in 12 months! New York, London and Berlin. Our inspiration comes from the strength, courage and above all, wonderful humour we see daily from my youngest daughter, and Lottie’s sister, Maddie. If she can tackle what she does on a daily basis, then so can we.

For this reason, Lottie and I have decided to run the London Marathon for WellChild. This charity plays a crucial role in enabling children with complex medical needs to leave hospital and be cared for at home, reducing the practical, emotional and financial impact for families. They support families through this process, in what can seem a very lonely and scary time; bringing the families back together and allowing a sense of normality to resume for the child and their family.

This is our way of giving back!

We would love it if you could donate, even a small token, to support us, while we support such a wonderful cause.
