Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many of you know my gorgeous wife and best friend Tor passed away toward the end of 2010 after a brave and courageous battle with cancer. 
 
In the last few weeks of her life Tor and I moved into the Martlets Hospice. The Martlets Hospice provides care for adults with life limiting illness for whom curative treatment is no longer appropriate.  This care is aimed at alleviating the distressing symptoms associated with serious illness as well as providing emotional support for families and carers through illness into bereavement.  As the services of the Martlets Hospice are provided free of charge the Hospice must raise over £3 million a year, that's more than £11,000 a day.

The amazing staff (or little angels as Tor called them) at the Martlets enabled us to spend some quality time together, their compassion and respect made the last weeks of Tor's life full of dignity, laughter and incomparable care.  For myself and Tor's family this is something we will never forget and we will be eternally grateful. In order to help this wonderful charity continue its amazing work I have decided to run the Brighton Marathon on Sunday 15h April 2012 followed by the London Marathon the following weekend, please sponsor me whatever you can using the link below.
 
Every penny counts, especially with the current financial climate.  It has been a very difficult time for the Martlets as concerns about falling income due to the worsening economic situation, has lead to a decision by the Trustees of the hospice to close the Day Hospice service.  In addition, the aromatherapy service for the Day Hospice and the IPU will be withdrawn at the same time. These services would make such a difference to peple it would be wonderful to be able to help get them reinstated.
