With my dad’s birthday approaching this May, I wanted to do something special in his memory. He meant the world to me, and although he's no longer with us, his love, kindness, and sense of humour lives on in all who knew him.

I’m setting up this fundraiser in support of St Ann’s Hospice, who cared for my dad during his final weeks. Their support during such a difficult time meant the world to us, and I’ll always be grateful for the kindness they showed him – and our family.

As part of this I’ll be running the Manchester 10k on Sunday 18th May - with just 6 weeks to train! It’s a challenge, but one I’m taking on with love and determination in his memory. And nothing compares to the challenges dad faced on a daily basis.

Every donation, no matter how small, is deeply appreciated. Thank you for helping me keep his memory alive and for joining me in marking what would have been a special day ❤️❤️
