<p>On April 29th 2012 I am going to run the Milton Keynes Marathon – my first! This is a big celebration, because 30 years ago on a snowy evening in January, Exeter Hospicare was launched. </p>
<p>We thought very few people would come, but the Exeter Guildhall was full and people were standing out on the pavement.</p>
<p>Each year over 2000 people and their families are looked after in the Hospice and at home. So to Celebrate this (and being almost 70!) Tim & Mark our sons and I will be running the race for Exeter Hospicare.</p>
<p>Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page – please give as you can.</p>
<p>Liz, Tim & Mark Searle.</p>
<p>PS – Last time Tim attempted to raise any money for Exeter Hospicare, it was going to be a sponsored bike ride from Exeter to Lyme Regis and back. This was in 1982. The training was going well until a bad crash put pai to all the efforts. So instead of a the bike ride Tim ended up in The RD&E Hospital Wonford for 4 days under the watchful care of his father's colleagues! (His father being the current President of Exeter Hospicare).
