Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Jessica and Richard Hill had a beautiful baby, Alice Poppy in March 2013. Unfortunately Alice became ill in November that year and was diagnosed with a rare mitochondrial disease. This turned their lives upside down as Alice was given only months to live. The care that Jess had to provide Alice in the following months was challenging and intensive. During this time the James Hopkins Trust provided nurses to support Jess with this care at home. When I heard a radio interview with Susannah Pomeroy, who had provided care for Alice, and had obviously grown to love Alice as if she was her own child, I was struck by the amazing care and dedication the James Hopkins Trust provides. Alice passed away in September 2014. She and Jess have been an inspiration to all of us. And without the care of JHT I'm sure Jess's life must have been much tougher.

I'm riding this Point to Point as it is something that will challenge me immensely (as I haven't ridden for over twenty years), I have been inspired by Jess's strength, and I would like to support the amazing people at the James Hopkins Trust.
