I am taking on this challenge because I want to help families facing unimaginable heartbreak - the knowledge that their child may not live into adulthood.

Julia’s House provides frequent, flexible care for children with life-limited or life-threatening conditions to give their parents a much-needed break.

Amazingly, Julia’s House has to raise 93 per cent of the money it needs each year to run this vital service which is why I have chosen to support them. Your kind sponsorship will make a life-changing difference to these families.

Regretably I have first hand knowledge of the heart break as my grand son Isaac died aged 17 days. I became aware of Julia's House when a group came on the Santa Express last year, the last time most of them would visit him.

100% raised will go to this worthy cause, I am covering all expenses involved.

My company, Carter Synergy, has generously volunteered to contribute both finance and advertising.
