Story
** Now running in April 2023, more info below xx**
Last year my Aunty Sarah passed away, leaving behind my cousins Annie & Eve, her husband Duncan, and countless other people who cared for her.
Another family member was due to run the London Marathon in her memory, whilst also raising funds for Martlets - a hospice based in Brighton that cared for my Aunty before her passing. He is unfortunately injured, so in 5 or so weeks I'll be pounding the pavements of London in his place.
Any donations will help Martlets to continue the brilliant work they do for people in their final stages of life.
Thank you x
Martlets is a local charity that provides terminally ill people in Brighton and Hove, and surrounding areas, with the very best care and support.Our expert team helps patients live life to the full during the precious time they have left.Martlets opened in 1997. The staff and services were formed from the merger of three separate charities: Coppercliff Hospice, Tarner and MacMillan Day Hospice. Across the hospice services, more than 25,000 local people have been supported and cared for since 1997.Most people receive care from us in their own homes. Outpatients also visit our hospice for pain relief, physiotherapy, counselling, welfare advice and social activities. Others choose to spend their final days here, or to join us as inpatients for respite care or symptom management.
