Our amazing London Marathon Team are aiming to raise an incredible £20,000 or more to help St Raphael's provide exceptional hospice care everyday.

Story

I am running the London Marathon in 2025 to help raise money for St Raphael's hospice so that they can continue to provide exceptional end of life care and support to patients and their loved ones. The hospice means a huge amount to us as a family as both my parents and my wife’s parents received amazing end of life care there and we also received support as a family which helped us so much.

St Raphaels recently announced that, like so many other hospices, they are having to make substantial cost cuttings.

Due to the rise in inflation and only a minimal increase in their NHS funding, they are now incurring an additional £1.1M of costs each year, which is not sustainable for a charity of their size.

I would love to raise as much as I can as the hospice is so important and we need to make sure they can continue to provide all the valuable services that they offer. Any donation you can make will be greatly received.

Thank you so much for helping me to support this fantastic charity.
