Story
It started with the loss of my sister to a tragic accident 13 years ago and continued to the loss of my brother to cancer 6 years ago. 2 places that will always live in my heart forever are the ICU at Derriford hospital in Plymouth and Hospiscare in Exeter. They gave everything to help/save them and above all made them comfortable in their final hours, so I want to give back by raising as much money as I can. I have started running with the aim to do a 5k, 10k, half and full marathon between now and the end of 2018, either raising money at each part or as a job lot donation.
I miss those guys so much and as much as I would love to have just 1 more day with them I know it can't happen, so to give back to those areas which helped and maybe be able to give others the help and support through donations seems like the next best thing!! So come on people out there help me reach the goal and who knows what that money may do for someone in the future. We could save a life together or get 1 step closer to finding cures for cancer and thats no bad thing. Thank you in advance for any and all donations this may bring about.
Also the dreaded C took another member of my family last year in one of my fav Aunties so the more money I can raise the more people I can help as I would dearly love to raise funds to remember my Auntie Sandra too!!! Lets do this people, we can make it happen.

It's heartbreaking to lose a family member at anytime but to lose both siblings inside 8 years was soul destroying. Well for their memory I want to make a difference and give some money to the people that tried to help in the final hours!! Ricky and Chrissy this is all for you 💖
