I’m running in memory of my Grandad Stumpy and Grandma Hurst who were both cared for by Myton.

I have very vague memories of visiting them both at Myton, but I don’t remember feeling particularly afraid of going, or aware that they were coming to end of life.

Although I was young, I believe that’s credit to not only my family, but also largely to the Myton staff and the environment they created at the hospice.

I’m not sure what either of them would think of me running, but I hope it would make them proud ⭐️

And I hope they’ll be looking down alongside my other grandparents, having a good laugh at my expense…!

Please donate what you can.

At The Myton Hospices we believe that everyone matters for every single moment of their life; we focus on enhancing life when cure is no longer an option.

We are a charity, not the NHS, and must raise £12.7 million of the £15.3 million it costs this year to provide our services free of charge.

Just 17% of our funding comes from the NHS.

Last year, we supported over 2,000 people and their families, in our hospices, via our patient & family support services, and in the community through Myton at Home.
