In memory of Alex Coxon

Ben Nevis Charity Climb · 15 June 2025

We provide specialist palliative and end of life care for adults living across central and south west London. This year, we must raise £14m to supplement the funding we receive from the NHS so we can continue to provide our outstanding, compassionate care, free of charge. Your support is vital.

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.
