Thank you for taking the time to visit our Just Giving page.

The Challenge

Members of the Archor Team (Andrew, Adam, Lucy, Roz, Katharine and Megsy) and Porsche Centre Colchester (Jacob) will be taking on the Valencia Marathon in December to raise vital funds for St Helena Hospice.

The Charity

St Helena help local people in North Essex to face incurable illness and bereavement. They are close to many of our hearts and are an invaluable part of our community, but they are a particularly special charity because St Helena cared for Jacob and Megan's Dad, Craig, in the last few days of his life. Craig was diagnosed with a Stage 4 Brain Cancer (glioblastoma) in May 2022 and passed away at St Helena on 25 September 2022.

St Helena provides more than just medical care, they are a very special charity and we, along with many other families, do not know what we would have done without them during a very difficult time. We are raising money for St Helena so they can continue to provide their services to more families who need their help.

Thank you once again - updates during the rest of our training to follow... but for now see this photo from the Chelmsford Half Marathon (our first half marathon of the training block!)
