Sue Ryder Leckampton Hospice costs £10,000 a day to run; something you don’t think about or even need to know about until it touches your life.

In November I lost one of my oldest friends, age just 44 and with whom I’d had the pleasure of sharing wonderful times over 35 years of friendship.

From school days to holidays to the end of days, and much more in between, I shall never forget and be forever grateful that she enriched my life. There is no logic or reason to what has happened, other than the unlucky roll of the dice 😢💔

For those she left behind, we have the opportunity to seize the moment and make the most of the hand we’re fortunate to have been dealt. For that reason I have set myself the challenge of running Gloucester 10K in March remembering Tina as I train and on the day 😘

The care and support Sue Ryder Leckhampton Hospice offer makes sure everyone approaching the end of their life or living with grief can access the support they and their family need. There is no one size fits all when it comes to how we cope and the help we need but with Sue Ryder's support, no one has to face dying or grief alone. They are there when it matters.

If you are able to donate any amount, no matter the size, it would be so appreciated by so many. Thank you 🙏🏃‍♀️
