A WREXHAM runner has completed two half marathons raising crucial funds for the hospice that cared for her late mum.
Nia Jane, 39, has completed two half-marathons in two months, raising an incredible total of £1,451 for Nightingale House Hospice.
Nia completed the Great North Run and Royal Parks Half to raise much needed funds.
The challenge was in memory of her mum, Helen Williams, who sadly passed away in the hospice in February 2009.
She said: "I will always be incredibly grateful to Nightingale House for looking after my Mum and I really wanted to do something in her honour to say thank you and to help other people.
"When the running got hard, I just remembered how much harder it was for my Mum when she was poorly, and I knew I could keep going.
"The incredible support and extremely generous sponsorship I received definitely helped me over both finishing lines too!

"I hope that the money raised will go some small way to helping other patients and their families. Thank you so much to everyone who has sponsored me for being so kind and generous."
A Nightingale House spokesperson said: "A huge thank you to Nia for an incredible achievement from everyone at Nightingale House Hospice."
The money will go towards patient services and will make the world of difference to patients and their families.
