***UPDATE: WE DID IT!!!!!****

THANK YOU to all you wonderful people who helped us get over our target! We are truly thrilled (and admittedly sore and achy, and Pol is missing a toenail) to have completed a half marathon for Royal Trinity. They are wonderful people doing wonderful things.

We are asking that you give whatever you can to support the work and secure the future of Royal Trinity Hospice, in memory of Dudley Sutton.

Why are we raising money for Royal Trinity Hospice?

The hospice came to our attention when they took care of the wonderful Dudley Sutton, who played Tinker in Lovejoy, at the end of his life. Hospices are SO important in ensuring people can have a dignified, peaceful, comfortable end to their life, and we would be devastated if an organisation that provides such care were to suffer or even cease to exist. We are aware that, during the pandemic, the hospice's shops, key to providing funds, had to close, and they are in desperate needs of funds to secure their future. We want to contribute in whatever way we can, however small, to helping them reach this target.

How are we raising money?

We are running the Royal Parks half marathon in October 2021 (after covid caused a postponement). We are all reasonably keen runners (what we lack in speed, skill and stamina we more than make up for in enthusiasm), and are very excited about the opportunity to run this fantastic course for such a good cause. We have previously raised funds via an online quiz and auction, but want to expand our efforts beyond the Lovejoy Universe!

Who the heck are we?

We are three women who run a podcast about the 80s/90s TV series Lovejoy - Lovejoy, Actually - because we all had lonely childhoods, plus it's good to have a hobby. 

Royal Trinity's mission:

We believe that every moment matters, so we go above and beyond to help our patients and their families make the most of every moment they have left.Hospice care is as much about living as it is about dying. We want to give our patients the time and support they need to make informed decisions about how they die. We’ll continue to be there after death, for those close to them, providing specialist emotional and practical support, no matter their age. Last year we cared for 2,500 people at the hospice and out in the community.
