Starting July 20th 2020 I will run 13 half marathons in 13 consecutive days for My Wish Charities butterfly appeal. The 13 half marathons will take place all around Bury St Edmunds.
Me and Dad will also be running our first full marathon, Manchester Marathon which has been delayed until October. EDIT - Manchester has been completely called off for 2020. Me and Dad are currently planning to get a full Marathon done sometime in August
Each year West Suffolk Hospital cares for over 1000 palliative care admissions and today, approx 25 patients will need the help of the end of life services.These patients are looked after by the outstanding end of life team but there is no dedicated space to allow for privacy and time with those who matter. We want to change this. Working closely with the team, our vision is to create a garden with a purpose built building which will house the patient in their bed. The area will allow the patient and their loved ones to spend quality time together, away from the hustle and bustle of the wards, as they prepare to say goodbye. It will provide an area for quiet contemplation, peaceful reflection and privacy for all. Children will be able to play, pets to visit and memories made to treasure at one of the most important times in our lives. There is never a good time to say goodbye but we all share the same vision of wishing to be surrounded by our loved ones in our final hours.
