Story
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I am running the 2008 London Marathon to raise money for St. Francis Hospice, a local hospice who offer specialist care to patients who have cancer or other life-limiting illnesses. They also provide support to patients' families. I can vouch for the fantastic work they do, as they looked after my dad in 2004 - they really did a wonderful job and, ever since then, I promised myself that I would give them something back.
The hospice relies on donations and fund raising alone - it costs nearly £5m each year to provide care for the 1600 or so patients who will use their facilities. So, I'm hoping to raise as much as I can - anything you can donate would be very gratefully received.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Saint Francis Hospice 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.
Many thanks for your support.
