I am running the London Marathon to raise as much money as possible for Severn Hospice, who gave my Dad the most incredible care. I am running in his memory, he used to sit on the couch and watch the London Marathon every year and say he would do one! So here I go...

The warmth and care Severn Hospice gave me and my family at the toughest time have meant they have always had a special place in our heart. The amazing work they do for families is free but not without cost. For every £1 donated, 88p goes directly on care, and the remaining 12p makes another £1.

I am so grateful to anyone who donates, and helps give families the support we received in 2012.
