I’m excited to share that I’m taking on a meaningful challenge —a half marathon to raise funds for Havens Hospices! On the 13th October, Ill be running 13.1 miles to make a real impact on the lives of those who need it most.

Havens Hospices is a remarkable organization that provides compassionate care and support for individuals and families facing life-limiting illnesses. Their dedication to enhancing the quality of life for patients and offering invaluable support to their families is truly inspiring.

As a student Paramedic, I’ve had the privilege of working with patients at the end of their lives. I’ve seen how even the smallest gestures—whether it's a kind word, a comforting touch, or a moment of understanding—can make an enormous difference in someone’s final days. This experience has shown me just how vital it is to provide compassionate, quality care to those in need.

Havens Hospices is an organization that embodies this spirit of care. They offer not only medical support but also emotional and practical assistance to patients and their families. Their work ensures that people can live their final days with dignity, comfort, and peace, which is why I’m dedicating my half marathon to supporting them.

Every day, we are truly blessed with the gift of health and the opportunity to wake up and embrace each moment. This precious gift allows us to experience life’s joys and navigate its challenges, savouring the beauty and opportunities that each new day brings.

Supporting Havens Hospices is a way to extend this blessing to those who are facing life-limiting illnesses. Their incredible work ensures that patients and their families can also find comfort, dignity, and support during some of their most challenging times. By contributing to Havens Hospices, we can help provide the same care and compassion that we so often take for granted. It’s a chance to share our own good fortune and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most.

Each mile I complete brings me closer to making a real difference which fuels my determination. By supporting Havens Hospices, I hope to contribute to their incredible work and help ensure they can continue providing the care and comfort that so many people desperately need.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering a donation. Your support means the world to me and to everyone who benefits from the incredible services provided by Havens Hospices.

Together, we can make a difference.
