I’m running the Worcester City Half-Marathon in aid of the End of Life Care Fund of Worcestershire Acute Hospitals Trust.  Details of the really important work that the End of Life team do is below.

For those that know me, the End of Life team is where Alice works, and any donation will help her and her colleagues help others at incredibly difficult times in their lives.  Anything you can give will be gratefully received and put to excellent use.
