TSC London Marathon for Princess Alice Hospice

London Marathon 2023 · 23 April 2023 ·
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I’ve joined Princess Alice Hospice to run in the London Marathon in 2023 as it is a charity close to my heart and they deserve our support.
Earlier this year I lost my Dad to lung cancer caused by asbestos, he was only 72.
During his last few weeks of life he received care from his local hospice in Chichester.
This was my first experience with a hospice and until then, hadn’t quite fully comprehended the extent of their knowledge, support, guidance, experience and empathy that went ‘with the job’ so to speak. All the nurses were so kind and compassionate, nothing was too much effort, every question was answered, every need was carried out, caring for my dad as if he was one of their own family members. They also provided a huge amount of support to us: me, my mum, sister, his grandchildren and other family members.
So, when the opportunity arose to run for a charity, I immediately chose my local hospice, The Princess Alice in Esher. I know it continues to provide the same wonderful support to other local families and can only continue to do this if they receive charity donations. It costs a lot of money to keep this amazing service up and running, so every little bit helps.
THANK YOU FOR ALL SUPPORT AND GENEROSITY :)
Here is a little bit about The Alice itself and how Just Giving works…..
"Providing care for families when they need it most.
The Princess Alice Hospice provides a comprehensive range of services that respond to the individual needs of patients and their families, so that they can live life to the full, create memories, share special moments and when the time comes, support them through, before and after the death of a loved one.
It costs us £10.1 million each year to provide free, high quality specialist end of life care to tens of thousands of people with life threatening illnesses.
We rely on wonderful supporters like you to help us to generate thousands of pounds through participating in events like TSC London Marathon."
