Sunday 26th April was meant to be London Marathon Day but with the postponement a lot of charities will be missing out on a major source of donations.

So as an alternative we thought we could complete a cul-de-sac Marathon raising some funds for the Lewis-Manning Hospice, a local charity in Dorset.

We plan to do 210 laps of the cul-de-sac (26.2 miles). All neighbours have been invited to help achieve the distance whilst observing social distancing rules. Fancy dress is optional and the weather is looking good.

Lewis-Manning Hospice Care is a charity helping people with life limiting illnesses and their families across East Dorset. Our free palliative care services include: - Day hospice- Creative arts & well-being support- Lymphoedema clinic- Better breathing clinic We promote acceptance, hope & peace of mind, helping people live well through their illness. It costs more than £1.3 million a year to provide our important services. Your support is vital to the future of the hospice.
