Soooo, I’m delighted to say that I've secured a charity place to run the London Marathon, for St Christopher’s Hospice, in April 2025!

As some of you may know, my mum was Head of Fundraising for St Christopher’s for 17 years. During this time I learnt a lot about the role St Christopher’s plays in its local community, supporting patients, their families and friends, through end-of-life care.

Over the years I’ve volunteered at events and even interviewed staff members for a piece of field work for my degree. I honestly couldn’t be more proud to be running for St C’s.

Did you know hospices only receive 40% of their funding from the NHS? The hospice has to fundraise over £16 million each year to continue its vital work.

I’ll be sharing more interesting facts and personal stories about the hospice. To keep up to date with my training and fundraising journey, follow me on Instagram (@run_with_poppy), and if you can, please dig deep and help me support this fantastic cause.

Thanks in advance for all your support 🙌
