As some of you may be aware, I've decided to run the London Marathon this year and in doing so I wanted to help a charity which has become important to me and my family. 

 

The Iain Rennie Hospice at Home is a registered charity providing palliative care for terminally ill patients in the comfort of their own homes rather than in a hospice or nursing home.

 

In July 2005 Beth's (my fiancée) Mum was diagnosed with an incurable brain tumour, and is currently being cared for at home by her husband Lyn. The Iain Rennie nurses have been so supportive to Sue during her illness and also to Lyn (Beth's Dad), by relieving some of the stress that he is under, so I couldn't think of a more fitting cause.

 

I'm aiming to raise a minimum of £1500 for the charity so any donation you can make, however big or small, would be greatly appreciated.  If you donate using this website Iain Rennie Hospice at Home will receive your money faster and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
