I’m running the Great North Run 2024 in memory of my late wife Wendy and to say thank you to this fantastic charity who helped us so much.

Treetops Hospice is the leading end of life care charity for Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

They provide nursing care and emotional support for adults with life-limiting conditions, those who’ve been bereaved, and their families. Their services are available free of charge, from diagnosis onwards.

They offer end of life nursing in patients’ own homes, counselling for grieving children and adults, personalised wellbeing support and confidential advice.

It costs £4.2million each year to run Treetops 70% of this is fundraised.
