Louise's half marathon for Dr Kershaw's Hospice

Louise Henderson is raising money for Dr Kershaw's Hospice

Chester Half Marathon · 18 May 2025 ·

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

I’m pushing myself majorly out of my comfort zone with just 6 weeks to train for a half marathon. I’ve never ran so far and this will not be easy for me doubling my normal run of 10km.

Working at the Hospice I see on a daily basis how much fundraising supports our patients and their loved ones and how much that care really does mean.

Currently the cost of us operating as a Hospice is £14,357.67 every single day and less than a third of that total is funded. I’m aiming to raise £598 to pay for one hour’s care at the Hospice.

Any support you can give to help me achieve this is so appreciated!

Thank you and wish me luck I feel like I will need it! :)
