I'm running my first half marathon - the London Landmarks (thought it was a pub crawl) for the deep gratitude I have for Princess Alice Hospice and for the love that still burns bright for my Dad, Mum, brother, sister and nephew. Geoff, Pam, Geoffrey, Emma and Alexander.

Read below to see what this amazing Hospice offers not only to those in their last chapter but the care they have for those in the community who are in need of support. I also volunteer as a Compassionate Neighbour, a role that reminds me how impactful the smallest gestures—like simply listening—can be for someone who feels isolated. It’s an honour to play even a small part in their vital work.

Princess Alice Hospice provides a comprehensive range of services that respond to the individual needs of patients and their families, so that they can live life to the full, create memories, share special moments and when the time comes, support them through, before and after the death of a loved one.

It costs us £10 million each year to provide free, high quality specialist end of life care to tens of thousands of people with life threatening illnesses. We rely on wonderful supporters like you to help us to generate thousands of pounds through participating in London Landmarks Half Marathon.
