Why am I doing this?

I’ve been running for a number of years and I’m always up for a challenge. I like to support local charities in Stoke-on-Trent and I’m passionate about supporting the work of our only Children’s Hospice in the area.

It's a sad fact of life that some children are born with, or develop conditions which limit their life.

The Donna Louise Children’s Hospice works so hard to make each and every day these young people have with us special. They really do help to make every moment count.

I find that simple motto so inspiring, we should all make every moment count. Right now the hospice is open Mondays to Saturdays, 24 hours a day with 6 beds, but their ultimate aim is to secure sufficient funding to open all 8 beds, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

So I’ve decided to do another running challenge to help raise funds for my local Children’s Hospice and with that in mind I developed The 6 Towns RunX2.

With your help, the hospice can continue to provide much-needed support for children and their families. You can make a difference and help me complete my gruelling challenge so click on the links below to find out how you can contribute to making every moment count for life-threatened children across Staffordshire and South Cheshire.

6 Towns RunX2 = 12 Half marathons in 12 days
