"Climb for Alex" Fundraiser for Royal Trinity Hospice (London)

Alistair Murray is raising money for Royal Trinity Hospice (London)
In memory of Alex Coxon

Ben Nevis Charity Climb · 15 June 2025

We believe every moment matters so we go above and beyond to help our patients and their families make the most of every moment they have left. All our services are free of charge. We receive 33% of our funding from the NHS and rely on donations to raise the extra £13m we need each year.

Story

Very sadly, Alex Coxon passed away on 11th November 2024 aged just 51. He was one of the most intelligent, kind and funny people we have all known. So, as a group of his oldest school friends, eight of us (Mark Winfield, Avi Bhatia, Matthew Draper, Andrew Girdher, Matt Widdall, Ed Wheatley, Justin Crowther and Alistair Murray) will be undertaking a charity climb of Ben Nevis to raise valuable funds for the Royal Trinity Hospice and keep his memory alive.

Royal Trinity provided the most incredible care for Alex during his illness and towards the end of his life and they continue to support his family today.

Every year the gap between what is received from the NHS and what it costs to run Trinity widens.

So we will walk, talk (possibly slightly out of breath), climb Ben Nevis and eventually raise a glass to an amazing friend.

If you're able to support the Royal Trinity Hospice in Alex's memory, we would all be extremely grateful.
