This year I’m taking part in my first (and last) ultra marathon. On March 16 I’ll be running 32 miles Bridges to Boundaries Ultra to raise funds for The Chronicle Sunshine Fund, followed by Manchester Marathon on April 14th

The Chronicle Sunshine Fund is a local North East charity that provides specialist and adapted equipment to children aged 0-19 living with disabilities, additional needs, chronic and terminal illness. The types of equipment we can fund are not available through statutory services like the Local Authority or NHS; yet they are vital to the daily life of our Sunshine kids. These specific pieces of equipment enrich quality of life for not only the children, but their wider families and communities.
