Thanks for visiting my little page.
I'm kinda sorta running a marathon... if you count running two half marathons with a 2 month gap in between as 'running a marathon'.
Any donations will be going to the Woolverstone Wish Fund at Ipswich Hospital. This will go towards the unit that gave regular care to my lovely Aunt and Godmother, Ann Logan, over the last 15 years. Sadly, my Auntie Ann passed away last year and for those fortunate enough to have known her, I'm sure they will appreciate the hole that's been left with her not being around any more. Spurred on by my cousin's training for the Colchester half marathon, I decided this was the most useful thing I could do in her memory and to raise much needed money for those who had given her such great care. There's some more details about just what this fundraising will do for the hospital below.
I'm going to be running (I may be playing fast and loose with the term 'running' there) Run Hackney in just over two weeks (22nd June) and the Ipswich Half Marathon on 21st September with my cousin Hannah. All cheerers and jeerers welcome.
I know everyone's a bit skint but please do dig deep and give what you can to try to get me over the finishing line(s)!
The Woolverstone Wish Fund has been created in order to raise money to refurbish the Chemotherapy outpatient clinics and day-unit in the Woolverstone Wing of Ipswich Hospital. The aim is to increase the available space, improve privacy for patients and provide a more comfortable treatment area.
Anyone who has visited Woolverstone Outpatients at Heath Road Hospital, Ipswich either to receive chemotherapy or to accompany a patient can not doubt the dedication of the staff. However, the cramped area leaves a lot to be desired.
