Story

We are running the London Landmarks Half Marathon in April for Hospice Africa. Thanks so much for your support as we embark on our running journey starting Jan 1st lol… Think couch to 5k except it’s actually 21.0975k. 

We are running as part of a group all based in and around London who love community activities, spending fun and quality time with others and giving back what we can! We love the idea of all completing this half marathon challenge together with the aim to raise as much money as we can to a family based charity close to our hearts. This is a charity set up in Uganda by Dr Anne Merriman which provides palliative care to patients and palliative care training to providers across the continent of Africa. For over 25 years Hospice Africa has been providing palliative care and affordable morphine to HIV/AIDS and cancer patients which has massively improved their quality of life and allowed these patients to live free of pain and at peace.
