Marathon of marathons · 22 August 2006

Hospice care eases the physical and emotional pain of death and dying. Letting people focus on living, right until the end. But too many people miss out on this essential care. Hospice UK fights for hospice care for all who need it, for now and forever.

Story

Hello and thanks for visiting my Marathon of marathon for Help The Hospices fundraising page.

Friends of mine use the services of a local hospice for respite care for their daughter and a work colleague recently spent her last few days in another hospice. I therefore decided that I would attempt a running challenge for the "Help the Hospices" charity.

Running one marathon just didn't seem to be enough of a personal sacrifice bearing in mind the incredible work hospices do and so I came up with the idea of running a marathon of marathons, 26 races each of 26 miles, within 26 months. My challenge will start with the London Marathon in April 2007 and take in at least one marathon per month in Athens, Prague, Budapest, Amsterdam amongst others and will end with the London Marathon in April 2009.

Please try and sponsor me, no matter how large or small your donations are they are very much needed and appreciated.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Help The Hospices will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
Many thanks for your support
