Many of you know now that I recently lost my Dad to Cancer at the end of October and the local Hospices were amazing and gave selfless support to us during his last few weeks so i have decided to run for Hospice UK in the London Marathon in memory of him!

Whilst it will never fill the void left by my fathers passing, it is just my small way of saying thank you and supporting all the Hospices out there while combining it with something I really enjoy and a bit of a bucket list item for me as well.

I want to raise at least £2500 for this amazing charity so anything you can donate will be greatly appreciated!

Prize sweepstake - For every £10 you donate i'm giving you a chance to win a Tropic Skin care pack worth £72 (See picture) by guessing what my chip running time will be on the day. So for example £30 will give you 3 separate guesses at my running time to improve your chance of winning this amazing gift for either yourself or someone you love.

Hospice care eases the pain of death and dying, letting people focus on living, right until the end. Too many miss out on this essential care. Hospice UK fights for hospice care for all who need it, now and forever.

As the national champion for hospices, we support over 200 hospices across the UK, helping them deliver the best, most personalised care to 300,000 people each year. But hospices are underfunded and under immense pressure.

Your support can make a difference. Join us in promoting and protecting hospice care for all.
