Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

My grandfather died in Queenscourt hospice several years ago.

The care he received was excellent.

It takes £3,500 every day to keep the hospice open and allow people to die in peace and with dignity.

The fund raising challenge is two fold;

1) I am to run the Windermere marathon (hilly) in under 4 hours.

2) My father (Dr Peter Downham, chairman of the hospice) is going to get under 13 stone by the same day.  This is a loss of nearly 2 stone.  No easy going when you are disabled.
