Story

Over the next 12 months I’m taking on six challenges to raise money for Hospiscare to say thank you for the incredible care they gave my late stepdad, Phil Sampson. 

Phil died in September 2023 after a four year fight with prostate cancer. 

They provided Phil with compassion and expert palliative care. The specialist doctors, nurses and all the support staff make the experience such a comfort to both the patient and their loved ones.

Hospiscare do far more for a patient's end of life care than any of my family ever imagined.

The challenges are:

Great West Run - Sunday 26th May 2024.

South West Coast 50 Challenge - Saturday 3rd August 2024.

Windsor Half Marathon - Sunday 29th September 2024.

Barcelona Half Marathon - Sunday 16th February 2025.

Bath Half Marathon - Sunday 16th March 2025. 

London Marathon - Sunday 27th April 2025. 

I’m also taking part in the Hospiscare Summer Walk in July. 

If you’d like to join me on any practice runs or the events themselves in memory of Phil, or to help raise a bit of cash then please do let me know - it’ll be great to have any support. 

Anything you can donate would be much appreciated to help support this incredibly important service for our community. Thank you.
