I am running 31 miles in January to raise vital funds supporting St John's Hospice. Those of you who know me well know I am no runner so this will be a challenge for me!! However - it's good to have a focus after all the chocolate eating over Christmas.

Only around one quarter of the hospice's funding is from the NHS, for the remainder they rely on donations from our amazing community. Every penny raised makes a difference to their work, enabling the charity to work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year offering care, compassion and support during one of the most difficult times people face. My fundraising will help them fund a range of services in the Hospice and in patient homes across North Lancashire, the South Lakes and areas of North Yorkshire.

Thank you for your support
