Staff from a Millhouses veterinary practice are set to run the Sheffield Half Marathon to raise money for charity this March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catherine Farmery, 40, a receptionist at Park Veterinary Hospital and Katie Limb, 45, a vet, will be raising money for St Lukes Hospice and Sheffield Children’s Hospital. They are each aiming to raise \u00a31000 for their chosen charity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miss Farmery is running for St Luke’s Hospice, a charity that cares for terminally ill adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said: “I just think they’re an incredible charity who help so many people and their families and I just think any one of us could be in that position one day.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St Luke’s cared for Miss Farmery’s uncle when he was ill and a friend’s mother who suffered from motor neurone disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miss Limb will run for Sheffield Children’s Hospital who cared for her daughter who broke her arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miss Farmery said: “That’s a really good charity as well so any donations for Katie would be appreciated.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite having run the Percy Pud 10K together last December this will be the longest run the pair have committed to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have been training weekly with personal trainer Joe Patterson from Passion To Progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miss Farmery said: “As it comes closer I’m getting more nervous,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I know the support is going to be incredible and that will really get me going. It will really make me emotional but I’m excited, I think the adrenaline will take over and I’ll just power through.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friends and family will be coming out to support them on the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miss Farmery said: “I’m definitely going to smash the target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The group that we work for will put a percentage of whatever we raise towards that as well so that’s really good.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She spoke about her experience with St Luke’s Hospice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miss Farmery said:”The care and compassion that everybody receives, including family members, is second to none and they are an absolute credit to the city.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The marathon is set to take place on March 29th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spokesperson for St Luke’s Hospice said: “We are extremely grateful to Catherine for her support and she has already raised an incredible amount of money which really will make a huge difference.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
