Story

Hello 👋 I have been given a once in a lifetime opportunity to take part in my first ever marathon at the Paris 2024 Olympic - Marathon Pour Tout (marathon for all). This is the same course that will be used during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. You can find more information on the event using the following link: https://marathonpourtous.paris2024.org/en

I want to use this opportunity to raise money for the charity Weston Hospicecare. This is a charity that personally means a lot to me and my family.

In March 2024 my grandfather Michael Francis Heath was admitted to Weston Hospicecare following an end-of-life cancer diagnosis. My family got to see first-hand the incredible work and facilities that the Weston Hospicecare offer.

Palliative care is never an easy time for any family but the care and support that was offered to us from everyone at Weston Hospicecare was outstanding. Our family was treated with the upmost love & respect and Weston hospicecare allowed my grandfather to pass away peacefully with dignity.

Their support doesn’t end when a loved one dies. Weston Hospicecare offers families access to free aftercare counselling for those who need it.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you are able to donate, any donation would be greatly appreciated no matter how big or small.

Here is what Weston Hospicecare say:

Receiving an end-of-life diagnosis can be difficult, not just for the patient but also for their loved ones. At Weston Hospicecare, our team of palliative care experts is dedicated to working together to provide specialist support. Our social, emotional, psychological, spiritual and physical care helps guide people through one of the most difficult experiences they will ever face. With only 20% of our funding coming from the NHS, we have to raise £5.5 million each year to fund our care - something that's only made possible by our community.
