About our charity : Butterwick Hospice Care Butterwick Hospice Care
Butterwick Hospice Care aims to improve the quality of life for those who have a progressive life limiting illness and those close to them. To offer positive support for every challenge they may encounter during their illness and to see death as part of life's journey. A life limiting illness changes everything, moves all the parameters in your life and the lives of those around you. Butterwick Hospice Care intends to be there for those in this situation and to listen, guide and support the patients and their family. Adult patients are cared for at facilities based in Stockton and Bishop Auckland. Butterwick House Children's Hospice, also located in Stockton, was the first of its kind in the North East and is still the only one accepting children from birth to 19 and providing end of life care. Admissions are made from Teesside, North Yorkshire, County Durham and Wearside.

Our personal message:

We decided that running a marathon in 5 years time might just about leave long enough to train.  So we started submitting to the ballot in the hope of eventually scoring a free place.  But then Flora went and called our bluff and gave us both a place this year.  2008 it seems, will be the year....

In the hope of finding some motivation, we have decided to run for a charity close to our hearts - the Butterwick Hospice.

Many of you will know that the Butterwick did an amazing job of caring for Jen's mum.  During life, Maggie Middleton raised a lot of money for building the new hospice which she sadly never saw.  Though now complete, upkeep of the facility costs several £million a year.  We hope to maintain her legacy by helping the Butterwick to help other families facing difficult times.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Butterwick Hospice Care will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So go on.... sponsor us now! (26.2 miles is a ruddy long way)

Many thanks for your support!

Jen & Iain

PS Queen Liz & Phil The Greek, if you're reading - a nice bacon sarnie would be welcome at the finish line.
