This April, I will be running my first ever marathon! I’ve chosen to support a fantastic local charity, Severn Hospice, who also provided individual care to my grandmother and support for our family over many years. Please help me raise money for this amazing cause by donating and sharing. Thank you!

Severn Hospice is with families from the moment they're referred to its care for as long as they need it, and it does this every day, all day for anyone in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and Mid Wales who needs that help.

It does this for them for free, but it is not without cost and it can't happen without you. For every £1 you donate, the hospice will spend 84p directly on care – and use the remaining 16p to make another £1.

Last year, all those individual donations meant the hospice could be there when it mattered for 3,000 local families.
