On October 17th, I am running the Chesterfield 10km race to fund raise for Ashgate Hospice Care.

Claire Sivorn was a wonderful sunny person and the mum of a close friend.

She learned in October 2020 that she had terminal cancer and passed away on the 6th May 2021, just 7 months later.

After contracting Covid-19 in hopsital in January, Claire stayed with Ashgate Hospice. During her final few months, Ashgate hospice helped her and her family, which included helping her throw a last minute wedding as Claire and her fiance had to cancel their wedding after being told Claire would likely not reach it. They sorted a free photographer and flowers and helped arrange the whole day, on top of all the other care and support they provided to Claire and her family.

They also supported my grandad when he was being care for at home.

(At the time of signing up for this) I have never run more than 5km before.... So the training starts now! 🥵 I don't have a time goal, just to finish!

I know everyone has had a tough year financially, but places like Ashgate Hospice rely on donations to provide their services. Even just £1 helps 💕

Covid-19 has hugely impacted fundraising for all charities, Ashgate hospice included.
