The COVID-19 Pandemic has been challenging for all and tragic for many. Throughout this the frontline care staff have put themselves at risk to help provide care to society’s most vulnerable. The “Heroes at Farleigh Hospice” are a great example of this providing care to those in both the Hospice and local community. This is my attempt to help the team continue this service.

Whilst I have always enjoyed running my last “event” was a 7 mile fun run when I was 11. My training for the 60 mile Jurassic Coast Challenge has included running my first marathon distance as well as clocking up over 50miles a week. My goal is to complete the distance in a day with my Brother. Thanks to everyone who supports me by giving to this great cause.

Farleigh Hospice is a registered charity (no. 284670) which provides hospice care to people affected by life-limiting illnesses across mid Essex.They help patients to live as actively as possible from the point of diagnosis to the end of their life, by providing physical and emotional care, free of charge.With approximately 40% of their yearly running costs being funded by the local NHS, they rely on the support and goodwill of the local mid Essex community to contribute to the £16,039 it costs to provide their services each day.
