Story

I will be running the Manchester Marathon on 5th April 2020,  raising important funds for the Springhill Hospice in memory of my Brother-in-law, Tom Makin.

Springhill Hospice is very close to mine and my extended family's hearts, after helping support Tom and his family in his final months and up until his passing following an 8 year battle with Osteosarcoma taken from us at only 29 years of age (Bone Cancer)

Thank you for taking the first step to helping us raise the £3 million a year it costs to keep the doors of Springhill Hospice open. The services we provide are free of charge. We care for adults aged 18 and over with a life limiting illness. As well as caring for in-patients we also provide respite care, pain and symptom control, counselling for patients and family members, a day hospice for out-patients, hospice care in the home and bereavement advice. Thank you so much for your support. We could not carry on our work without you.
