As a member of the Cornwall Hospice Care fundraising team Jade has a little more pressure than the other runners raising money for the charity. No problem. She raised well over the pledge amount and had an amazing day in the London sun. Her journey has inspired others to lace up their running shoes and now she's looking at an ultra!
Here's Jade's Just Giving page if you'd like to make a donation.
