We had at least 3 teams ready for the Belfast City Marathon Relay in May 2020. Unfortunately, but rightly, the marathon has been postponed due to the COVID19 pandemic. While we hope to still run on the new date, we still want to raise as many funds as possible for the NI Children's Hospice! As such, we're asking people to donate the cost of something that they no longer need/can get while living in isolation - maybe the cost of a bus fare or haircut or Greggs sausage roll! All donations, no matter how small, are greatly appreciated! Why not let us know what you're donating in lieu of?

The only service of its kind in NI, Children's Hospice cares for over 370 babies, children and young people each year at our dedicated Children's in-patient unit - Horizon House and in our local communities through our Specialist Community Nursing Team. Our work also extends to families, supporting them from the point of diagnosis right through to the grieving period after bereavement. We receive a small amount of government funding, so we rely on the generosity of our local community to help us to continue to deliver our vital service.
