Story

Firstly thanks to everyone who has sponsored me in the past. However, I'm asking you to dig deep for a more personal reason this time: I've got a ballot place so I could choose which charity to run for.

Several years ago, my cousin Amy was born with Edwards syndrome. Unfortunately she never made it to her first birthday. Children's Hospice South West (specifically Little Bridge House hospice) supported Amy and my family in a community where everyone, not just the sick child is cared for. The help and support that they give to children who aren't expected to reach adulthood, as well as their families cannot be overstated.

You've made it this far, so  please please please make your donation count and give generously and help children and their families who really need it.
