Anyone that knows Ian well enough knows that as far as running is concerned he normally sticks to 'logistics',..."transport, tea and a bacon sandwich". But he is now back and raring to go!

Ready to become an athlete again, Ian will be running the London Marathon with me (Kelly, his daughter) to increase awareness of an amazing charity and raise vital funds for them to continue their mission to allow children with exceptional health needs to be cared for at home surrounded by the comfort and love of their families. Please see below further details in what WellChild strives to achieve...

WellChild Childrens Nurses provide essential care and practical support to children and young people requiring long-term or complex care. They play a crucial role in enabling children to leave hospital and be cared for at home, reducing the practical, emotional and financial impact for families. WellChild is also committed to funding high quality, innovative projects designed to have a positive impact for seriously ill children both now and in the future. This includes WellChilds Helping Hands programme which continues to go from strength to strength, working with volunteers from companies and organisations across the country to tackle essential projects in the homes of children with serious illness. Those volunteers provide the manpower and enthusiasm for projects such as bedroom and garden makeovers.

Whether £1, £10 or more we appreciate any money that you can contribute towards our journey. 

I never thought I'd be able to do this journey with my dad (although we haven't made the start line yet), so please give us some support to get Ian over that finish line!
