Story

As many of you may be aware, I tried to run the marathon last year unfortunately ending up in Hospital after a collapse at mile 20. Thank you again to all those who donated and I'm happy to let you know I am back again this year to take it on again, in the hope that I may actually be able to cross the finish line. In addition, my little sister Clare has decided to join me and attempt the marathon as well. Perhaps 'Strength in numbers' will be more successful.

In 2016 our brother Simon passed away after an incredible battle with multiple cancers. Throughout his life he was an inspiration and was one of the kindest, most interesting, wonderful people you could ever meet. Towards the very end of his life, St. Margaret's Hospice in Taunton, Somerset cared for Simon and helped him enjoy the last few weeks he had. 

The care they supply at St Margaret's is incredible and costs an astronomical amount every year, and hopefully while Clare and I are plodding around London we can raise some money to help the hospice continue to offer the incredible end of life care they do.

Any donations will go straight to the charity and are greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Tom and Clare
