Story

My daughter Katie and I have rashly entered this years Big Half Marathon in London on September 1st, and are aiming to cross the finish line together, hopefully sometime shortly before September 2nd.

In doing this, we would like to try and raise some money for the ART, which is a fantastic Charity that I had a small role in helping to set up, with its wonderful founder, Liz Pryor, in 2018.

The Anne Robson Trust helps hospitals set up teams of volunteers to visit patients dying in hospital. Priority is always given to patients with no other visitors.

Too many people spend their last days and hours alone, with no visitors.

The Anne Robson Trust want to ensure no one has to die alone.

Since starting in 2018, they have supported patients with more than 20,000 volunteer visits.

Please help support their vital work providing companionship for people approaching the end of their life, and supporting their family members and loved ones.

Further information can be found at https://annerobsontrust.org.uk

Thank you so much for your generosity.
