When my friend's mum Judith was diagnosed with terminal cancer 5 years ago, St Joseph's Hospice provided fantastic care and support to her and the family. In memory of Judith, myself and around 20 friends are running the Hackney half with an ambitious fundraising target of £20,000. Any donation you can give, no matter how big or small, will be greatly appreciated and can really help the amazing work they do at St Joseph's. You can also help by sharing this page with others. Thank you for your support! 

St Joseph’s Hospice opened in Hackney in 1905, and since then has been caring for and supporting people affected by serious illness in eight London boroughs. We work to improve the quality of life of more than 2,100 patients with life-limiting conditions each year, helping them live life to the full, to the very last. We have to raise £19,000 each day to keep our vital services running and available to the 2.2 million people in our diverse community, so every penny raised for our hospice is really important, and very much appreciated.
