Sadly my beloved grandad passed away in September 2017 after fighting off 3 types of cancer. Dorothy House looked after him and provided exceptional care, that made the process a whole lot more bearable. Since then I have wanted to run Bath Half to say thank you to Dorothy House for their amazing work. Bath is a significant place as it’s where my grandparents live and where grandad was treated, so to do the half marathon here is even more special. I have always enjoyed running and found it very rewarding, but 13 miles is a bit different to a leisurely park run! So far training is going well and I’m hoping for a sub 2 hours finishing time🤞🏻. I would be very thankful for any donations, not matter how small. Thank you xx

Dorothy House Hospice Care has been privileged to have charity places in the Bath Half Marathon since 2002. Over the past 18 years weve had 2,200 amazing runners taking part for Team Dotty. These legendary runners have raised an absolutely phenomenal £708,000 for the charity and we are so proud of every single person who's been part of the team.
