The Martlets is a local charity and hospice providing essential care to people affected by terminal illness in Brighton and Hove, and surrounding areas.

The wonderful staff at the Martlets cared for my wife, Elaine, during the final weeks of her life and could not have done so with more dedication, love and professionalism.

I am eternally grateful to them and am running the Marathon in memory of Elaine and to support the Martlets in giving the same care to others in the future.
