Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. All money raised in sponsorship will be going towards supporting St Andrew's Hospice in North East Lincolnshire. The hospice is a charity that has been strongly supported by my husband, Joe, for many years and is an extremely deserving cause. Typically, 88% of the £3.8 million annual running costs are funded through charitable support and donations. 

In addition, St Andrew's Hospice continues to raise money to extend and improve its service offering for children, adults and their families. 

Work continues on a new health and wellbeing centre that focuses on holistic support for patients. This will be funded by the Building on Care campaign that has already supported the cost of a new state-of-the-art building and room upgrades. 

The hospice's ethos of Making every day count is what has inspired me to take on this huge personal challenge. I started training a long time ago as I was planning to run the London Marathon last year, but was unable to secure a place. Fortunately, I've been given a charity place this year and I hope you'll support me in every one of those 26 miles.

While I will, no doubt, get a great sense of achievement from completing the marathon, my biggest success will be in securing extra support for this fantastic charity.

Please dig deep and support as much as possible - whether £1 or £100,  or even more if you're feeling generous!
