We are now a magnificent nine runners - Steve, Tim, Phil, Mari, Matt, Caroline, John, Joe and JJ are pledging to run 100km each across February for St Luke’s 100k appeal. That’s a combined 900 kilometres! This is a charity close to all our hearts, they have done a lot for people we love over the years, and again in the last few weeks they were there for close friends of the St Oswalds family. Please give what you can, fundraising was massively down across 2020 for charities. They need our support more than ever right now. Give a little, give a lot, We will all be running and updating across the month, across our social media, how we are getting on and our own personal reasons for attempting a collective 900km of running

Since 1988, St Luke’s has been providing palliative care to local people, supporting them in ways which go beyond the scope and funding of the NHS. Last year we supported over 1,000 local people with a huge range of support from end of life care on our ward to supporting carers, and from helping children cope with grief to helping patients return to work after an illness.We are a charity and provide all our care for free, so we rely on the generosity and commitment of our supporters to raise more than 80% of our costs.
