Story
Carol and I should have run the Bristol Half last year, but sadly due to JimJam being in hospital, we had to pull out. So this year we are going bigger and better!! And most definitely madder. We have more runners and more runs.
You all know our inspiration for doing this. JimJam and her amazing friends at the James Hopkins Trust. The Trust has supported us through the most difficult times, and given us much needed respite. Whilst JimJam is an absolute delight, and a joy to be with, it is hard coping with both mental and physical worries, and having just 4 hrs a week to do normal stuff is a life saver. We also get overnight respite about once every 4 months. JimJam has Osteopetrosis, which is a life threatening condition. She has endured two bone marrow transplants, all before she was three. She's totally blind, has hearing and sensory issues and her development is very delayed. However, she is the most happiest child I know, and can brighten your day with a chuckle and a song.
Team JimJam consists of myself, Jo Titheradge and Carol McEvoy.
