Severn Hospice provides specialist care and emotional support for families in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and Mid Wales living with an incurable illness. All our care is provided for free, but it is not without cost - we have to raise £2 for every £3 we spend. It's because you care that we can.

Our friend Matt was taken from us far too soon, leaving a young family and many friends behind. As a group we have collectively raised money for the hospice which cared for him so amazingly. We have embarked on running challenges in his memory and cemented friendships old and new, near and far.

 Many of my clients and their families have also been touched by the support, care and incredible work the hospice does. 

As an individual I wanted to do something more to, inspire others to be active, take on challenges, seize the day and raise as much as possible for this wonderful cause. 

Both our children and I loved supporting my wife when she completed the marathon 2 years ago, the kids loved spotting  the fancy dress runners and so the idea was born! 

So I’ll be running the 2024 London marathon in flamingo fancy dress!
