On 6 March 2024 my dad died from the very cruel disease - Lewy Body Dementia. In his final months he was given excellent care and support from Farleigh Hospice through their hospice at home service.

Having seen the work Farleigh does I want to use the Brighton Marathon to help raise some money for that hospice. Dad's obituary can be found here:

Farleigh Hospice is a registered charity (no. 284670) which provides hospice care to people affected by life-limiting illnesses across mid Essex.

They help patients to live as actively as possible from the point of diagnosis to the end of their life, by providing physical and emotional care, free of charge.

With approximately 40% of their yearly running costs being funded by the local NHS, they rely on the support and goodwill of the local mid Essex community to contribute to the £21,271 it costs to provide their services each day.
