I am running the Manchester marathon in memory of my grandad Alf and grandma Kathleen who both died recently. Also, in loving memory of my Auntie Catherine.

My grandma and auntie were both cared for by a wonderful team on the inpatient unit at St Ann's Hospice, Little Hulton and I want to give something back for their hard work and dedication.

Any donations received enable St Ann’s Hospice to provide care to people and their families living with a life-limiting illness in the Greater Manchester community. They provide a range of free services to patients, carers and their loved ones at sites in Little Hulton and Heald Green, as well supporting patients in their own homes.
