Jo's Marathon Miles - Walk, Jog, Run Event - Sunday 8th May

YHA Windmill Lane, Cheshunt EN8 9AJ 9.30am start

Jo's wish before she passed away at the Isabel Hospice on 29th December was to run a marathon. Sadly she never got to do this, but she wanted everyone to get together and run one for her, as well as raising money for the Isabel Hospice where she received such amazing care and support.

So bring along your friends and family (dogs & pushchairs) and let's see how many marathon miles we can run in memory of Joanne (Jo) Smith. There will be a 1 mile, 3 mile and 6 mile route. You choose the distance, how many loops and whether you walk, jog or run. Entry is by donation on the day (cash), or a donation on this Just Giving page.

For many years Jo suffered with her mental health but running was her happy place and she felt free. She was part of EN11 Your Town Runners and a regular parkrunner so it is very apt that we remember Jo in this way.

Isabel Hospice provides palliative support to the 370,000 people who live in eastern Hertfordshire.Hospice care is about helping people to live well for as long as possible and have a good death in the place of their choice when the time comes. Without your help, we could not make this possible for our patients and their families. Each year we care for approx 2,000 people but we know there are even more people that need our help.
