At St Raphaels Hospice, we strive to improve the lives of those affected by terminal or life-limiting illnesses, giving them and their carers the confidence to cope and enjoy the best quality of life possible. We care for patients wherever and whenever they need us. We believe that hospice care is about life and living, not just death and dying.

The Hospice needs £6 million a year to run, relying heavily on public donations, legacies and fundraising to keep going. Thanks to the generosity of the public, we are able to make an enormous difference to the lives of 1,000 terminally-ill patients every year. We are not state-funded, even though every one of our patients is a NHS patient. We only receive about 25% of our costs from the NHS and the remainder, more than £4 Million per year, we need to raise ourselves.

To help St Raphael's provide exceptional hospice care everyday, our amazing London Marathon Team are aiming to raise an incredible £20,000 or more.
