The Isabel Hospice delivers vital palliative care services to anyone in East Hertfordshire who needs them.

They offer incredible support through the In-Patient Unit and Hospice at Home Team, and also offer Family and Bereavement support services.

Being a local charity they hugely rely on sponsorships and donations, needing to raise £7 million every year in order to provide their services free of charge to those who need them.

Your generosity with any donation is so greatly appreciated and goes directly to funding their invaluable work.

As people know I am not much of a runner, so 26.2 miles seems like a suitable challenge. Hopefully I have bought some running shoes by the time you're reading this!
