This March I have decided to run the Bath Half Marathon to raise money for Time is Precious, a great charity that supports children in hospital, Time is Precious helps create a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere for both children and ther families.

The charity was setup in 2011 by Neil and Nicky Halford, in memory of their son Ben who died from cancer aged just 5.

I was in the same class as Ben in primary school and know firsthand how frightening it can be to be in hospital, the last time I ran was at the Margret Coates Centre for autistic children, taking part in the weekly mile, this is why I’m asking you to give whatever you can, and to help me be successful in this mega challenge.
