Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. I was lucky enough to get a place on the Great North Run this year through the ballot, but I didn't want to let such a good opportunity pass by to raise money for a charity close to my heart. Wakefield Hospice supported my Mum through her long illness and facilitated her wish to die at home last February, and provided outstanding care to my Dad as an inpatient last Novemeber. They were concerned not just with the patient, but looked after me too when I stayed in the hospice with my Dad. They have been a huge support to me and my family over the last year. They truely are a compassionate and thoughtful group of professionals and I hope you will support me in raising money to allow them to continue providing care to such a high standard. Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Wakefield Hospice gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation. Thank you very much for your support!
