My Story
I am taking part in the 2024 Great North Run in aid of Zoe's Place Baby Hospice.
Zoes Place provides a short break service, palliative and end-of-life care to babies and children aged from 0-5 years, living with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions.
We are lucky enough to have not have had to use the services Zoe's Place offers but having a little boy of our own makes it's hit home how important this cause is.
Not only this, my nana who sadly passed away this year ran fundraisers for Zoe's place every year for her birthday and was unable to do so this year as she died shortly before her 100th birthday
Compassionate care is at the heart of their philosophy and this will be provided to all who access our facilities irrespective of their religious beliefs, colour, race, culture or gender. There is no cost to the families for this service.
The majority of the support theygive at Zoes Place is respite care. All of the babies at the Hospice have a life-limiting or life-threatening condition and require differing levels of 24 hour support on a one-to-one basis. Zoes Place offers our parents and carers a chance to recharge their batteries or to spend time with their other children.
The value of this respite care to our families cannot be underestimated and many families tell us that they simply would not be able to cope without the help and support of our team.
So I am putting my best foot forward to help Zoe's Place Baby Hospice.
I am hoping to raise at least £500 toward their amazing work. If you can sponsor me it would be very much appreciated - no matter how big or small the donation every penny really does count!
Each £30 raised will pay for one hours care.
Thank you very much for your support!
