Running 10k a Day for Jessie May

Luke Baker, husband to Jessie May nurse Charlotte has set himself the challenge of running 10K a day throughout May. Luke is well on the way to raising his £2,000 target for the Bristol based charity Jessie May, a hospice at home charity that provides palliative and respite care to terminally ill children, and their families, across the South West. A Jessie May nurse will provide specialist nursing care to terminally ill children with extremely complex medical needs in their own home.

Luke sees the work of the charity day to day and wanted to raise some vital funds and awareness to do his bit to help;

“My wife Charlotte is a nurse at Jessie May, caring for children who are not expected to reach adulthood. The work she and her colleagues do to support these children and their families is amazing, and I want to do something to raise money to help them to support more children in our local area. I am inspired by their tireless work and I want to give something back.”

Jessie May Chief Executive Chris Roys has been following Luke’s progress daily,

“It’s great to witness the huge effort Luke has been putting into his challenge. We rely on inspirational individuals like Luke to raise vital funds and awareness for Jessie May. The fact that his wife Charlotte is one of our nurse’s makes this even more special. We can’t thank Luke enough for his efforts, and wish him all the luck for his final week!”
