Hi everyone, on the 24th of September I will be taking on Berlin Marathon as part of the WellChild team to help raise much needed funds for seriously sick children and young people with their aftercare once leaving hospital.

As a mum of four and having worked with children all my life this is a charity close to my heart.

WellChild Children's Nurses provide essential care and practical support to children and young people requiring long-term or complex care. They play a crucial role in enabling children to leave hospital and be cared for at home, reducing the practical, emotional and financial impact for families.

WellChild is also committed to funding high quality, innovative projects designed to have a positive impact for seriously ill children both now and in the future. This includes WellChilds Helping Hands programme which continues to go from strength to strength, working with volunteers from companies and organisations across the country to tackle essential projects in the homes of children with serious illness. Those volunteers provide the manpower and enthusiasm for projects such as bedroom and garden makeovers.

I know that this is a difficult time for many families with the cost of living increase so any amount even the price of a coffee would make such a difference to this amazing charity which does such great work.

Many thanks for your support, I really appreciate it,

Wish me luck! Orlaith x
