Dorothy House hospice looked after Mum in her final weeks after battling cancer two years ago. Our whole family were so impressed with the care they give from their hospice in Winsley and after hearing about the fun run I thought it would be great to give something back to a charity that means so much to us.

The Santa & Elf run takes place around the fabulous grounds of my work place - Bath Spa University! Those that know me will know although this is a fun event (and there maybe more jogging than running), doing 5K is no easy task and will be a real personal challenge.

I've managed to drag Dad (David) along, so if it wasn't entertaining enough watching just one run in a Santa costume then you get double the value here! Plus all the others running on the day too.

We would be grateful for any donations and welcome spectators to come watch - the grounds around the Uni are fantastic and very calming. We would also encourage anyone to join in the run as well. You can sign up here - https://www.dorothyhouse.org.uk/events/santa-and-elf-run-2019/
