Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My challenge is to see if after 30 years and 5000 bottles of red wine I can beat the GNR time set by the younger me in 1982 - see photo.

I'm running for Grace House. At present the North east has the lowest number of hospice beds for children in the whole country. Grace House in Sunderland is for terminally ill children in the region. It will help make the most of the time left, providing expert medical help and professional care and also giving emotional and practical help. Construction is underway but continuing funding is needed so please support.
