I'm taking on the Warwick Half Marathon to help raise £25,000 in aid of The Myton Hospices amid a national hospice funding crisis! Please sponsor me today!


We know that’s a lot of money, but with your support, we’re confident we can do it!


The Myton Hospices provides compassionate care and support for people with life-limiting illnesses and their families - both in their Inpatient Units and out in the community.


It costs over £15 million every year to provide their services free of charge to their patients and their loved ones.


As a charity, with less than 20% funding coming from the NHS they must raise more than £12 million this year!


More people than ever need a Hospice Bed, and tragically, too many people on the waiting list for a bed at Myton will die before they can access one.


As the only provider of Hospice Inpatient Beds in Coventry and Warwickshire, the demand is huge.


That’s why I’m taking on the Warwick Half Marathon, to raise money so they can be there for everyone who needs them, now and in the future.


To reach this year’s target of £25,000, they rely entirely on sponsorship, and that’s where you come in. Just look at what your support could help fund:

• £94 could fund one adult counselling session
• £360 could fund our Myton at Home service for a patient for one day
• £450 could fund an Inpatient bed for one day
• £545 could fund the required drugs for one patient

Please donate today and help The Myton Hospices be there for those who need them most.

Injury woes

Tuesday 8th Sep
This blog post is more for me than you lot. To realise the determination in what I'm doing and know that I want it! 

So about 4 weeks ago I did a stretch after going out for a bimble. The crossed leg bend over stretch. 

Copied- this is the problem-
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS), also known as lateral hip pain or trochanteric bursitis, is a common and painful condition which affects the outer side of the hip and thigh. It occurs when the tissues which lie over the outside of the hip bone (greater trochanter) become irritated.

The soft tissues that attach to the outside of the hip include tendons and bursa. When these become overloaded they are the primary sources of pain caused by GTPS.

So after visiting a chiropractor, which hasn't helped. A physio is next on the list. Meanwhile I've signed up to the gym to keep up my cardio and I'm working on strengthening. 

4 months to go. Wish me luck.

I've never really enjoyed running. Always found it hard on the body. But I'm starting to enjoy it. 
Putting myself in a position like this gives me motivation to keep going.! And for a super worthy cause! 
Myton hospice do so much for people. This way we all get to give a bit. ✨
