Fundraising for the local Hackney Hospice

My football team AFC Stoke Newington has been a big part of my life since I returned to London a couple years ago.  This club has been the doing of one man, Ian Bruce, a local teacher, coach and the founder of the club. He has given this club a lot of time, energy, encouragement, planning, sweat, half-time incisive words, and late nights on the training grounds and played a significant role in promoting and supporting the North London female football community. I can't thank him enough for that.

Ian's mum sadly passed away, but received remarkable care and support at St Joseph's Hospice. Friends of Ian's and members of the club are coming together to run this half marathon and fundraise in memory of her and to support the special work and care provided by this Hospice.

The Hospice needs to raise a lot of money each year to continue to offer this level of care. ANY kind of donation would be greatly appreciated! 

Many thanks,

Capucine

St Joseph's Hospice

St Joseph’s Hospice opened in Hackney in 1905, and since then has been caring for and supporting people affected by serious illness in eight London boroughs. We work to improve the quality of life of more than 2,100 patients with life-limiting conditions each year, helping them live life to the full, to the very last. We have to raise £19,000 each day to keep our vital services running and available to the 2.2 million people in our diverse community, so every penny raised for our hospice is really important, and very much appreciated.
