Joseph Dodson's in memory run
Fundraising Stories
My Nannan Sally was a person very close to my heart and she received care and compassion from the Hospice. She would visit every week and staff were always so lovely towards her. My Nan used to visit the day unit to get her hair done and would always talk about how lovely the staff were and how welcoming they made her feel on every visit.
I chose the Sheffield Half Marathon as a way of fundraising for the Hospice. I have never completed anything like a half marathon, so it was a challenge for me. I also wanted to run for my Nan to make her proud and to remember all the love and happiness she gave me.
My friend Michael also lost his Grandad in the Hospice; he too felt that the Hospice provided the best possible care and that they always showed compassion to his Grandad. They helped both his Grandad and the rest of the family through a very difficult time in their lives.
My friends Michael and Samuel (as pictured) and I felt the Sheffield Half Marathon was a challenge and something new that we wanted to be a part of. We wanted to try and push ourselves to achieve more and know that anything is possible. As a group we wanted to raise awareness of Rotherham Hospice and its amazing contribution to people’s lives.
We had an absolutely brilliant day running and it was such a privilege to run for such an amazing charity close to all our hearts!
