London Marathon 2017 · 23 April 2017 ·

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

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Hospices across the UK provide amazing personal care for so many people. In particular, St Elizabeth Hospice in Ipswich and Willen Hospice in Milton Keynes touched the lives of our family and friend, by their excellent end of life care for my Dad in 2011 and my Auntie Anne and our friend Stuart in 2015.

The facilities were better than a private hospital and the staff were really second to none.  They created a warm and friendly atmosphere with a genuine emphasis on the quality of living. Nothing was too much trouble and they made a real difference at such a difficult time for both patients and their family members. 

I am setting myself the huge challenge of running the London Marathon in order to raise as much money as possible for Hospice UK and I kindly ask for your help!

Through my.running, I am committed to raising funds to help them to continue to support such wonderful Hospices across the country, so they can provide similiar care for many other families in the future.

I have never run a marathon before.  The furthest I have run is a half marathon and I am now 10 years older!  So this really is a challenge for me. I will be working hard in building up the mileage every week from now until April. Any donations, small or large, will make a difference and really help to spur me on. 

Thank you in advance for your kind and generous support!
