The Hospice of St Francis supports over 2000 local people who are managing, or recovering from, serious illness. We help them to live their precious lives well by improving symptoms, working with them to achieve personal goals - helping them to feel safe - and anything from getting back to work, enjoying family time to walking the dogs again.

Tyler:

Earlier this year, my family suffered the heart breaking loss of two people who meant so much to us — my cousin Freddie, the life of every party, and a close family friend Andrea.

I’m doing this charity run to honour their memory and prove to myself that I can push through. This run is for them, and for anyone who's ever faced loss — a reminder that strength can come from even the hardest moments.

Beth:

I want to take the challenge of this charity run in order to not only push myself but also to honour the memory of one of my close family members who faced many complications and tragically passed.

He enjoyed music as well as playing the harmonica. He had the kindest soul and always asked how I was, listening to all my small accomplishments. I want to do this for both him and my family to show them all my love and support.
