Story

Hello, we are running the Bristol Half Marathon in Sept for Dorothy House. The amazing hospice that supported us through the most devastating time we could ever imagine. 

We're doing this in memory of my special Mum, Marie Morley. She herself ran several half marathons and always joked that she would get me to do one with her one day. Sadly this never happened as she was diagnosed with terminal bowel cancer aged just 53. After a short illness, last November, She spent her last few weeks in Dorothy House and I cannot praise it enough. The whole place, staff, care etc made the most heartbreaking time just slightly more bearable. They provided such sensitive and dignified care to my Mum and our whole family and thanks to their facilitates we were able to stay by her side 24/7 throughout. This would not have happened in a hospital. 

Dorothy house hospice relies heavily on donations and fundraising to keep going and although I never wish anyone to go through such heartache, unfortunately, there is such a need for this Hospice. 

This is a HUGE challenge for us both as those who know us, know that we're not natural athletes by far!! It's going to be tough so please dig deep to make it worthwhile!! It's such a worthy cause! You can donate safely and securely using paypal or a debit/credit card. 

THANK YOU xx
