Hi, i'm Jo and I work for the Wellbeing Team. Firstly......I can't run! The parents (over 35's) race at my son sports day is great proof of this, and I still suffer flashbacks to when I fell over. I was winning by the way as well. So please can you sponsor me any pennies and the chance for me to fall flat on my face again!

I'm fundraising for Colchester & Ipswich Hospitals Staff Wellbeing Appeal, to help support our staff physical, emotional and their financial wellbeing.

The money raised will help create calming rest spaces, support mental health first aid training and support our NHS staff.

Although the pandemic is behind us, local NHS staff continue to face extreme pressure and the need for physical, emotional and financial wellbeing support remains one of our priorities.

Together we really do make a difference.
