I am running the Bedford Half Marathon on Sunday 3rd September and raising money for Queenscourt Hospice in Southport, who do amazing work in the local community and provide fantastic care to people in the area.
People often think of hospices as sad places, but I can honestly say, having worked in the charity sector for many years, this is 100% not true. They are full of life and love, where people have the opportunity to experience new things and create special memories together. The staff couldn't be more caring. And Queenscourt is no exception. I've been fortunate enough to work with the team there for a few years and it is an incredible place.
So, if you are able to, please make a donation to support Queenscourt Hospice and help me get over the finish line. Your donation will make a huge difference at the hospice, and you also have the added benefit of adding a spectator to my virtual cheer squad!
Bedford is a long way from Southport so it will mean a great deal to me if I know you are (virtually) cheering loudly!

Queenscourt Hospice is a local charity that provides free, high-quality care for the people of Southport, Formby and West Lancs. We care for patients with far advanced, progressive, incurable illnesses, enabling them to achieve the best possible quality of life at each new stage. We help to do this both in Queenscourt and at home through our In-Patient unit, Queenscourt Connect and Queenscourt at Home services, as well as sending specialist nurses and doctors into hospital and into people’s homes to advise and support patients, families and the frontline staff caring for them.
It costs over £400 an hour, 365 days a year to keep Queenscourt running. We rely upon donations of time and money from our local community to help us keep giving our special kind of care.
