Charity

Cornwall Hospice Care Limited - Cornwall Hospice Care provides specialist palliative care to the people of Cornwall living with life limiting illnesses. Many lives across the county and beyond have been touched by the holistic care provided by the charity at its two hospices, Mount Edgcumbe in St Austell and St Julia's in Hayle. The care is provided free of charge, but costs £5.6 million a year or £11 a minute. With less than 20% funding from government sources the charity is extremely reliant on the support and generosity of the general public to maintain its services.

I'm running a 28 mile marathon as a personal challenge for St Julia's Hospice, in memory of Josie Brooks. The race is in South Devon.

Only 9 days to go!

This is for Josie Brooks. She was feisty and vivacious and could always make me smile. I couldn't do anything to help her through 2 years of treatment for leukaemia, but I can do this: run a difficult 28 miles along very hilly cliffs in South Devon to raise funds for St Julia's Hospice (1 of 2 hospices run by Cornwall Hospice Care).

Josie spent the last 3 months of her life at St Julia's and died there just after Christmas at the age of 21. Seeing how they cared for her was inspiring and I want to raise money in her memory to help them care for others with the same grace, discreetness and love they showed Josie.

Running 28 miles will be tough (it's the first marathon I've ever done) and I'm constantly doubting my ability to do it, but if I think of Josie, dig deep and remember the courage and resilience she showed I know nothing can be as difficult as what she endured and I will do my utmost to succeed.
