Shooting Star Children's Hospices supports babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families across London and Surrey.Whether lives are measured in days, weeks, months or years, we are here to make every moment count. We support families from diagnosis to end of life and throughout bereavement with a range of nursing, practical, emotional and medical care.

I have witnessed the incredible support Shooting Star Children's Hospice offer for families in need of help, relief and support. They work tirelessly to support people who endure circumstances and situations beyond most of our experience. They are the most worthwhile cause to get me round that 26.2 miles, and in sponsoring me, you raise funds for a charity whose value is beyond the financial.
