Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice

🎉🏅 A huge well done to Gareth and his friend Kyle for completing the Worksop Half Marathon on October 27th and raising an incredible £3,464 (and counting!) for Bluebell Wood! Gareth’s one-year-old daughter, Daisy, receives essential care from Bluebell Wood as she navigates life with SCN2A, a rare genetic epilepsy. Their dedication shines a light on the importance of our services, and we couldn't be more grateful. #BluebellWood #worksophalfmarathon
