On Thursday 16th July I will be joining #TeamStCuthberts again for the Durham City Run 10k. As most of you know, in December 2018 I lost my wife Catherine to Breast Cancer. She and our family were so very well cared for at St Cuthberts Hospice and since her passing I have found various ways to try raise a bit of money in a small way to try thank them for their love and care in Catherine's final weeks with us 💚

A bit about St Cuthberts:

We have a wonderful team of amazing runners taking on the Durham City Run for St Cuthbert's Hospice! #TeamStCuthberts

Why run for St Cuthbert's Hospice? It all started with the local community...

Over three decades ago, a group of Durham residents came together for a common cause. They saw the absence of care and support available for those coming to the end of their lives and decided to take action. Thanks to their many years of fundraising and dedication, St Cuthbert's Hospice first opened its doors in 1988 to provide services, free of charge, for those living with life-limiting illnesses, people approaching the end of their lives and families who are bereaved.

We receive some government funding towards our care, but rely on donations, legacies, charity shops, charitable trusts and people playing our Lottery or coming to our events to meet the cost of providing our exceptional care and support. We must raise over £2 million each year.
