On Sunday 2nd October 2022 we will be running 26.2 miles to raise money for St Raphael's Hospice in memory of our amazing Dad, Mark Deall xx
Our Dad made such an impact on the lives of those that knew and loved him whether that be family, friends, colleagues or clients. He was the life and soul of every party, always up for a laugh and always there for his friends and family whenever they needed.
After being diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer in June 2017, it quickly became apparent that Dad could not be cured. By the end of November, Dad went into St Raphs and we knew he most likely wouldn't be able to leave. It was unbearably hard to accept him going to a hospice at only 56 but now we know it was the best place for him to be in, with the most amazing staff helping us look after Dad in his final weeks making him as comfortable as possible. St Raphs provided Dad, ourselves and our Mum with phenomenal care and support which we are forever grateful for.
The Hospice needs a huge £6 million a year to run!
Unfortunately they receive only 20% NHS funding and therefore the remaining 80% relies purely on fundraising and donations which is why we want to raise as much money as we possibly can!
We would be so incredibly grateful for any donation you can give, no amount is too small (but if we could smash our £6000 target that would be amazing!!!)
Thank you so very much
