Whether you are running the marathon or sponsoring someone who's taking part for us, thank you. Together you are all helping us to provide essential services to local people affected by terminal illness.

Story

Thank you for supporting #TeamMartlets. Over the past 25 years, Martlets has supported more than 25,000 people affected by terminal illness, in and around Brighton and Hove and the surrounding areas. Our dedicated end-of-life care services offer hope, purpose, and possibility, helping people live their lives to the full in the time they have left.

At Martlets, we believe that everyone deserves compassion and dignity in death, and we work tirelessly to provide care, comfort, and choice at home and in our hospice. Were available 24/7 to provide specialist support and advice, and were here to help family and loved ones too. Every year, Martlets supports more than 3,000 local people affected by terminal illness.

What better way to see London than taking to the streets and seeing it on foot? I loved running past the Cutty Sark and Big Ben but by far the atmosphere on Tower Bridge will take your breath away- it gave me goosebumps! I wasn't expecting to see anyone I knew running with me; but wearing my Martlets vest people knew who I was! I even got chatting to a lovely lady from Brighton mid race who was from Brighton and Martlets had supported her family too- what better reason to keep running.

We're only able to provide free life-changing hospice care thanks to the generosity and hard work of our supporters. Here's how your sponsorship could help.
