Story

Thanks for coming to our page. We are three sisters trying to raise some money for this fantastic charity that really helps support those in need. St Richard’s Hospice helped provide a place for our wonderfully independent and “fighter to the end” dad to pass peacefully surrounded by his loved ones in a safe and caring environment. 

It will be 10 months since dad passed away and we are doing this run in his honour. 

Jess: The goal is to do this half marathon in 4 weeks time on the 21st May with no previous training or races under my belt and then aim to train for London marathon next year.

Felicity: I was aiming to run the marathon this year for MND. However,  due to an inpatient hospital admission for acute pneumonia earlier this year I had to postpone this.

Izzy: I wasn’t planning on running but then I thought what the hell…. I will give it a go! Has definitely no previous training up until now and currently on maternity leave.

So…the compromise was we all do this half- marathon for St Richard’s Hospice together! For Dad! 

Anything you give can help, so please do give and know it is going to a very worthy cause and we the loved ones who have benefited from this charity are eternally grateful. 

Thank you.

Jess, Izzy and Feliss x
