In a little under 4 weeks time I will be running the Yorkshire Marathon to raise money for St Gemma's Hospice and help support my Mother-in-Law in her year as Lady Captain at Wetherby Golf Club. Through this year both the Mens and Ladies Captain's have chosen to support St Gemma's Hospice as they have helped to provide care and support to loved ones of both families in their time of need.

St Gemma’s Hospice is a Leeds-based charity and the largest hospice in Yorkshire. They provide expert care and support for local people with life-limiting and terminal illnesses. They offer care to patients and their carers in the Hospice’s In-Patient Unit, through the St Gemma’s community team and via Out-Patients. St Gemma's specialise's in pain relief and symptom control to help people live as well as possible, for as long as possible.

St Gemma’s welcomes and provides care to everyone regardless of people’s age, gender, disability, race, religion, sexual orientation or diagnosis. Their care is always completely free of charge. The running costs of St Gemma’s Hospice are forecast to be around £11 million this year with 72% of these funds needing to be raised from fundraising initiatives and donations.
