Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the 2018 London Marathon to help raise money for St John's Hospice London in loving memory of my grandmother Paola Bafumo Pollock.

Paola was a loving and caring person. Growing up she would always be the one to bring the family closer together. Her delicious Italian cooking, barbecues and spectacular firework displays are something we will never forget. 

Paola was a strong woman who ran her own business with great passion, she had many friends and was loved by many for her strong character.

I have chosen to run for charity and to raise money for the St John's Hospice to help them continue supporting patients and family.

The staff at St John's Hospice always have a smile on their face and a provide great care to their patients. 

St John’s Hospice is the only independent Hospice in Central London and provides free care for over 2000 people and their families every year. They provide the best quality care to seriously ill people and ensure that they and their families have the support they deserve. 

All staff at the Hospice are specialists in palliative care and ensure the physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs of patients, their family and friends are met.
