I am taking part in a virtual triathlon, swimming, cycling and running to raise money for Julia's House.

On the weekend of the 22nd June 2024, I will be taking on the challenge with a lovely group of colleagues to complete a 1083 mile triathlon - The distance from our Children's Hospice in Dorset to all of our children and young people actively receiving our care in the Dorset area.

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.
