Big thank you to our Jack and Jill Marathon Champions
Hear from a previous Champion!
“I never did a marathon in my life and always said that I would like to do it, but the opportunity never came up until VHI. This was a fantastic opportunity to support a well-deserved charity and do the one thing I thought I never would do. This opportunity to support a fantastic charity gave me the courage to do this. It also made me happy that we were supporting this in the fundraising. As a mother of 5, I am delighted Jack and Jill do so much for the children and the parents and there are these services around to help where required. I was so pleased that I completed the mini marathon, and we raised the money I feel so go to give something back for such a worthy cause.”
