The Amazing Northampton Run, 17 September 2023
We provide the very best palliative care to help both patients and their families

Story

Bell The Home Lifestyle Store, is celebrating 125 years of trading! 

To celebrate this milestone Bell staff are undertaking various charity events during the year to raise funds for our chosen charities which are Cynthia Spencer Hospice and Northampton Hope Centre.

I am taking part in my first organised run for more than 20 years and it has been several years since i did running of any kind!  I have chosen to run in memory of my friend, colleague and mentor John Kirkham who was Bell MD for 25 years and sadly passed in February 2015. In his final days John was cared for at Cynthia Spencer Hospice for whom i am raising funds. 

I can think of no greater honour than to run in John's memory and raise funds for this very worthwhile cause.

Cynthia Spencer Hospice provides a holistic and individualised approach in a safe and caring environment, to give exceptional specialist palliative care to patients and families with life limiting illnesses - supporting them to live their lives, with dignity, kindness and compassion.

If you are able to sponsor me in this challenge  (trust me this half marathon will be a challenge for me in my current condition!) i would greatly appreciate it and Bell are matching the first £125 that i raise so any donation will go even further.

Many thanks

Lee
