Running a marathon in two halfs (London and Berlin)!

Sadly, my dear friend Christiane, lost her battle against cancer in April 2025 - a battle she fought with huge positivity and determination.

I miss her greatly

Our friendship started at our first antenatal classes 36 years ago. We became good friends. Our families shared so many happy times together, and, more lately, the difficult and sad times that come with such a diagnosis.

Christiane and her family benefited from the expert care and support of St Christopher's so it was not a difficult decision to choose St Christopher's as a charity to support.

Christiane was born and brought up in Germany, studied in the UK and spent her married life with Michael in London, so I have chosen The Royal Parks Half Marathon in London and The Berlin Half Marathon as my two fundraising runs. I have been lucky enough to get a place in both!

The hospice is not fully funded by the NHS and relies on donations to provide expert physical and emotional care for patients and those close to them during difficult times. I hope you are able to support the work of St Christopher's by making a donation through my page, or by taking part in my other fundraising activities .

No amount is too small and I am hugely grateful for every penny you can donate

Thank you.

Gillian
