Story

As I have reached my target for my charity place in the London Marathon with Worldwide Cancer Research, I have decided to set up a second fundraising page to raise money for Hospice Isle of Man in memory of my beautiful sister, Jade, who sadly lost her 9 month battle to cervical cancer on 5th December 2023.

Hospice provided a home away from home for my sister in her last 2 and a half weeks of her life. From allowing her to completely christmas-ify her room, to giving her aroma therapy massages to letting me and her eat pizza, they really went above and beyond to support my sister and our family whilst she was at end of life care.

All the staff who work at Hospice provide the most wonderful care and they really have become a shoulder to cry on for me and my family and I am eternally grateful. As was my big sister Jade.

When Jade found out I was running the marathon on 21st April 2024, she made it her goal to make it through to watch me cross the finish line. Although she won't be there physically, she will be running every km with me and I know she will be watching me through the entire race.

So, in memory of my beautiful big sister.. this one is dedicated to you x
