It is that time of year again and my training has started for the Reading Half Marathon.  This year’s goal is to run the 21km in 2 hours or less (if only by 1 minute!) .  I will be running on behalf of Great Ormond Street Hospital, raising much needed funds to support all the amazing work they do.

Every year they need to raise £50 million to help rebuild and refurbish the hospital, buy vital equipment and fund pioneering research.

£100 could pay for 10 nights upkeep for one of the parent accommodation rooms, when children are poorly and they just want to be close to Mum and Dad.

£360 could pay for three flowmeters, helping to regulate the flow of oxygen and air to babies and children.

£798 could pay for a wheelchair and its accessories.

£2,315 could pay for pain relief syringe pumps.  They provide continous pain relief medication to the children in cardiac intensive care.

If you would like to sponser me or make a donation, please go to: www.justgiving.com/Jayne-Doyle and don’t forget to tick the gift aid box (this enables the charity to claim tax back from the government and is worth an extra 25%, which doesn’t cost you a penny, but is extra money to benefit the charity).

Otherwise, do come along on 1st April and cheer us on, it really does make a difference and motivates us to keep running!!!!
