The Severn Way 220 mile run for St Richard’s Hospice

Joe Hemming is raising money for St Richard's Hospice Foundation
In memory of Robert Hemming (Babs)

The Severn Way - 220 mile run · 5 June 2026

St Richard’s Hospice is an independent charity offering free, expert care for adults with an illness that cannot be cured, and support for their loved ones and carers. Each year the hospice team supports more than 3,100 patients, family members and bereaved people in Worcestershire.

Story

In June 2026, I’ll be running 220 miles on a route called the Severn Way over six days—from the 5th to the 10th—in memory of my incredible Dad.

These dates mark the exact days he spent in the care of St Richard’s Hospice, ending on the anniversary of his passing. I’ll be covering around 36 to 40 miles each day, camping most nights or returning home before heading out again the next morning.

This challenge is not just about the miles, but about honouring the strength my Dad showed and giving back to the hospice that supported him—and us—so compassionately in his final days.

Every donation will go to St Richard’s Hospice, helping them continue their amazing work for other families in need.
