I am taking on this challenge because I want to help families facing unimaginable heartbreak - the knowledge that their child may not live into adulthood.

Julia’s House provides frequent, flexible care for children with life-limited or life-threatening conditions to give their parents a much-needed break.

Amazingly, Julia’s House has to raise 93 per cent of the money it needs each year to run this vital service which is why I have chosen to support them. Your kind sponsorship will make a life-changing difference to these families.

Myself and my colleagues from The Nuffield Health Bournemouth Hospital will be hiking 13 miles around the Jurassic Coast to raise money for this amazing charity. Any donation would be appreciated.
