Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page.

If I make it to the finish, this will be the seventh marathon I’ve run for Friends of Sussex Hospices.   Every penny raised from my run will go to support our hospices because I know from personal experience how important hospice care is, both for the dying person and for their families and loved ones. 

Friends of Sussex Hospices champions and raises funds for the thirteen hospice care providers supporting the adults and children of Sussex. The charity is run entirely by volunteers and because it has no paid staff, none of the money raised goes on salaries.  This maximises the amount given to our hospices to help towards their substantial running costs.  Since it started in 1995 Friends of Sussex Hospices has distributed over £3 million.  

Our hospices have had a challenging time recently, but have stepped up to the mark and thanks to special additional government funding, have weathered the financial impact of Covid well thus far.

However, they are facing financial uncertainties in coming months as normal fundraising has not yet resumed and they are seeing a greater increase in referrals due to late diagnosis and non-treatment during the pandemic.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed each of my previous London Marathon experiences so I’m looking forward to it immensely.  Any support you might be able to give me will be hugely appreciated.
