Story

Leamington Half…  just a few weeks to go!

I’m not as fit as I should be & not loving running as much as I used to since developing exertion headaches and having to slow my pace down, but I haven’t missed one yet! 

So this year I’ll be slow, but I’m proud to support the amazing sponsors Myton Hospices, who require 10.5m fundraising a year, to continue to provide their services, for free. I’m sure this incredible, locally Hospice is close to many of your hearts, having cared for loved ones, including our beautiful friend Laura in 2018. 

She was an extremely strong and inspiring women, who lost her long, hard battle with breast cancer, the same disease that sadly also took her mum. She was so brave & kept a blog & wrote other forms of media with an ambition to raise awareness while she felt well enough. Many friends were totally over the moon to be part of her beautiful wedding day to her soulmate, Sam, unconditionally by her side throughout her fight. The special day is such a cherished memory for us all. 

Thank you Sam for supporting this decision. It’s an absolute honour to run in her memory. 

I’d really appreciate anything at all, no matter how big or small. to help support the fantastic cause and help me to get that finish line!♥️

At The Myton Hospices we believe that everyone matters for every single moment of their life; we focus on enhancing life when cure is no longer an option. We are leaders in compassionate end of life care; our work centres on our patients and involving them in decisions about their care. Perhaps most importantly we give them more quality time with their loved ones.Last year we supported more than 1,500 people and their families, in our three hospices, via our patient & family support services, and in the community through Myton at Home.
