Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Flora London Marathon 2009 · 26 April 2009 ·

We provide specialist palliative and end of life care for adults living across central and south west London. This year, we must raise £13m to supplement the funding we receive from the NHS so we can continue to provide our outstanding, compassionate care, free of charge. Your support is vital.

Story

It's in the Standard, so it must be true: A. Quinn 4:48:46.

I had a great day. If you're interested, it went a bit like this:

A brief, final word about Trinity Hospice:

I saw people on the Marathon with photos of lost children or parents, partners or friends. People running in memory, through grief, with love.

I may not get cancer, or heart disease, or lose a child, but I will die. If am very, very fortunate, it will be in a place like Trinity, or after having received the loving and expert care of those who work from places like Trinity.

I'm so grateful to have been part of the event on Sunday, because it felt like being part of a great big karmic act of love. 35,000 people doing an extraordinary thing for 35,000 reasons - somehow adding to the sum of human happiness.

Only love can conquer death? As Brodie from Baltimore might say, "True, dat."

Many, many thanks to everyone who's made a contribution.

This page is open for donations for while yet. You're welcome to check out what Trinity do at
