I had been volunteering for my local Isabel Hospice charity shop but I've now moved out of the village and am now also without car. I really wanted to continue my support PLUS I am doing a half-marathon in October so this is my next milestone to get those running shoes on whilst also supporting a great cause!

It's a wonderful charity that provides palliative support to the 370,000 people who live in eastern Hertfordshire.

Hospice care is about helping people to live well for as long as possible and have a good death in the place of their choice when the time comes and we definitely found respite in the one in Sydney for Dad.
