This year I am taking on the Manchester marathon and Manchester Half Marathon to raise some pennies for St Anns.

I see firsthand that St Ann's Hospice is a lifeline for many, but with only a third of our funding coming from the NHS, we need to raise £20,000 each day to continue offering these essential services.

Every step I take will help St Ann's provide vital support for patients and those close to them. Please consider donating what you can to help make a difference.

£10.85 could help provide TVs and WiFi for inpatients to enjoy during their stay.

£20.60 could pay for a hand or foot massage with one of their therapists to help a patient or carer relax.

£30.60 could fund a bereavement session for a loved one with their specialist team.

Thank you for your support!
