Gemma's birthday fundraiser for Dr Kershaw's

Ben Illingworth is raising money for Dr Kershaw's Hospice
In memory of Gemma

Wilmslow Half Marathon for Gemma's 33rd Birthday · 22 March 2026

Dr Kershaw's Hospice provides free, specialist, end-of-life and palliative care (an area of healthcare that focuses on relieving and preventing the suffering of patients) for adults with life-limiting illnesses in Oldham and its surrounding areas in a peaceful and homely environment.

Story

As many of you know, we lost our sister Gemma on November 27th 2024.

She was always cared for at home by our family and a team of wonderful carers.

In Gemma’s final days, Dr Kershaw’s ‘Hospice at Home’ were a huge support to Gemma and family in ensuring she was at peace.

We wanted to do something to celebrate Gemma’s 33rd birthday (25th March 2026) and help support the saints in our community.

Getting as many people as possible (minimum 33) is our aim - let’s see how we go!

Thank you.

Ben and Jess
