As many of you will know I've been training for the marathon for a while now. I wasn't planning to run for charity but wanted to recognise and support St Barnabas Hospice. I want to thank them for the kind and loving care they provided for the last few weeks of my Dad's life as he struggled with pulmonary fibrosis before sadly passing away at home on 20th April 2015.
