Well it seemed a good idea when Pip, our MD, suggested it.

“It’s all for a good cause” It is

“It’ll be easy” It isn’t

The Charity?  Julia’s House. 

Julia’s House is not a typical children’s hospice.

They provide practical and emotional support for families caring for a child with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition, providing frequent and regular support in their own homes, in the community or at their hospices.

I don’t believe it is possible to watch one of their videos
without tears welling up in your eyes.

We all have problems, issues with our kids (or parents for
that matter….) but when you see what Juila’s House does, day in day out, there is a feeling of relief that it is not your family going through the trauma of having a child with a life-limiting condition but there is also a feeling of relief that there is an organisation such as Julia’s House who supply the care and support that the State just can’t.

The challenge that a group of us are tasked with is to do a 2-hour
HIIT Session (don’t worry, I had to Google it as well – still don’t know what it stands for. I think that one of the I’s stands for Insanity, I rest my case).

The rest of the squad have numerous advantages over me:

Age being number 1

Fitness also being number 1

They started earlier

I am carrying more injuries than Darren Anderton in a bad
season

They possibly have more friends ☹

The ultimate aim of the Challenge is to raise £60,000 to
cover the cost of 2 nurses for the year.

Now I have NEVER done any fund raising like this before but
having been involved with Julia’s House for a few years now and seeing the unbelievable work that they do, then, if not now, when? If not them, then who?
