My story

On Sunday 22nd April 2012 I will be attempting to run 26.2 miles in the London Marathon for Dorothy House Hospice, Bath. Whilst I am keen runner, it is just starting to dawn on me quite how far 26 miles is… I therefore have 14 weeks to go and a LOT of training to do!

 

Dorothy House Hospice is an amazing charity that provides free care and support for patients with life threatening illnesses. They receive only 30% of their funding from the NHS and rely heavily on fundraising and donations to maintain their level of service.

 

I will always be so grateful to them for the incredible residential care and support they gave my Mum and my family when she had cancer 10 years ago. As part of this challenge I have pledged to raise £2,000 in sponsorship for them. Any sponsorship you are able to give would be very much appreciated…as the famous saying goes "every little helps!"

Dorothy House Foundation Ltd

Charity Registration No. 275745

<p> Dorothy House Hospice Care supports 1,500 families affected by cancer and other life threatening conditions every year. It is the only charity providing free specialist nursing care at home for people with life-threatening illness in Bath,Wiltshire and Somerset. Most patients are looked after in their own homes, but short-term care, out-patient and day patient services are provided at the hospice in Winsley. All care is provided free of charge, but Dorothy House receives only about 30% of its funding from the NHS. This year, after NHS funding, more than £7,000 a day must be raised to continue to provide these services.<p>
