My Story

I am running the Bournemouth half marathon this October to raise money for the fantastic Forest Holme Hospice.

Forest Holme offer specialist palliative care support to patients and their families/carers for patients with serious illnesses. The hospice looked after our Dad as a day patient and cared for him when he was ill. Forest Holme gave our family support during his illness and after we sadly lost him to cancer, and they helped us through the most difficult time. They do amazing work and we want to give something back to them for everything they did for us and our dad.

After running The Great South Run in 2021, Team Framps (my sister and I) planned to run this together but sadly Vicki injured her knee earlier this year so I'll be flying solo! I know she'll be my biggest supporter on the day and we are still raising money together. This is going to be a massive challenge both physically and mentally as it's the longest run I will have done. 13 miles is a long way!! We'd be so grateful if you could donate.
