I am running the Hackney 1/2 Marathon for the 6th year in a row!!!

I hate running but think St Josephs are amazing! Throughout my mum's battle with cancer they provided my family, and most importantly her, with fantastic care and support.

For that I will be forever grateful. St Jo's do a fantastic job day after day and make a HUGE difference to so many lives in Hackney.

St Joseph’s Hospice opened in Hackney in 1905, and since then has been caring for and supporting people affected by serious illness in eight London boroughs. We work to improve the quality of life of more than 2,100 patients with life-limiting conditions each year, helping them live life to the full, to the very last. We have to raise £19,000 each day to keep our vital services running and available to the 2.2 million people in our diverse community, so every penny raised for our hospice is really important, and very much appreciated.
