Join us in supporting Hospice Africa on its 30th Anniversary year by sponsoring us at the Royal Parks Half this October 2023.

Our community is expanding and so far we have participated in various events from the London Landmarks...to Royal Parks Half. This group of London based runners are taking on the next challenge to run 21km to raise money for Hospice Africa.

About:

Hospice Africa is a charity set up in Uganda by Dr Anne Merriman which provides palliative care to patients and palliative care training to providers across the continent of Africa. Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, Hospice Africa has been providing palliative care and affordable morphine to HIV/AIDS and cancer patients which has massively improved their quality of life and allowed these patients to live free of pain and at peace.

Hospice Africa's Vision:

Access to palliative care is fundamental to health and human dignity and is a basic human right. However, still many individuals do not access adequate care and the future of Hospice Africa is in jeopardy without adequate funding.

Here are just some of the examples that the UK, and other entities in Ireland, France, Australia, and the USA are vital for the support of: Teaching nurses and doctors in palliative care ethos and practices (10,000 medical staff trained) . Medical equipment, clinic services, rural home visits, daycare, paying staff. Manufacturing and production of affordable morphine.

Please join us in supporting our running challenges and allow Hospice Africa to continue to live out their mission! Read more here
