For years I’ve been saying I’m too busy to do this, but inspired by my daughter, who ran last year, when the opportunity arose to run for Demelza, an amazing charity that I’ve supported for many years, I decided no more excuses, so please help me to help them.

Bringing up children and raising a healthy, happy family is hard work at the best of times. When a child is born with or develops a terminal condition, the emotional and physical impact affects the whole family and can be overwhelming. At Demelza, we focus on supporting each child, young person and family we work with to achieve the best possible life. As specialists in care for young people and family support, we will continue to use our outstanding knowledge, experience and expertise to help families enjoy their lives together.
