Story

Weldmar hospice care is a fantastic charity that is very close to my heart. They gave my Dad (Christopher Denning) and family fantastic care, compassion  and support, when he sadly passed away in 2004 at Joseph Weld hospice after a short battle with bowel cancer. They also cared for my Godmother (Pat Baggs) after her battle with cancer. I will forever be grateful for their care, from their fantastic staff and would love to smash my target for them. 

The hospice is such a calming, relaxing atmosphere, with beautiful gardens and somewhere to spend quality time 24/7, with no limit to visiting hours, with your loved ones.

Running the London Marathon has always been a dream of mine, and running for Weldmar is my way of giving something back to them for everything they did back in 2004.

Many thanks for all donations, and of course I will post my finishing time after race day.
