Story

I'm running for Hospice UK (formerly Help the Hospices), who support people with terminal illnesses and their families in the final days of their lives. Some years ago Katie's grandfather was looked after so compassionately for his final days in a hospice after a difficult time in hospital. I know many of you have unfortunately had first-hand experience of how much care and dignity these fantastic places and their amazing staff give during incredibly difficult times.  

If I can raise £2,000, I can run the London Marathon for them. I can train myself up to run the 26 miles, if you can help me raise the money. 

The care for our relatives and loved ones in their final days of life is so important, and without charity funding these nurses and hospices cant be there for us.  Please give what you can to support this great charity.  

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
