On Sunday 30th April I actually ran the Great west Run in Exeter for Hospiscare. Why Hospiscare ......... well, it's simply because of my dad. He's had terminal cancer now for over 5yrs and if it wasn't for the care of Hospscare I am certain he wouldn't be with us today. Not only do they provide on and off-site support for him but they've been there for my mum as well. A brilliant team of people that only have one thing in mind - the care of those that need it.

For those who know my dad - Granville - you will know what a fighter he is and that he's not one to give up.

I've never done anything like this for charity before and I think the last time I did something sponsored I was about 9yrs of age and attending Central Middle School, but by giving the Great West Run a crack, I feel as though I’m helping dad give back a bit of the help that Hospiscare have given our family in the last few years.

I think you can still sponsor me online but I have to say thank you to all of you that sponsored me. I managed to get a total of £1001.50 !

Cheers and thank you for your support!
