I’m taking part in the Hospice to Hospice half marathon in memory of James Painter who lost his battle with cancer in August last year. James was in my life and my families from day 1, growing up with the Painter’s next door were some of my fondest childhood memories; the shows, the roller hockey matches, the Michael Jackson impressions and of course the endless bottles of Port drunk were some of the best days we had growing up. We all miss him so much, he has left a huge whole in the Painter family but also with us. I would love to raise some money for Hospice as they took such good care of James.
Here’s to getting through a half marathon..!
This fundraising page benefits the following good cause:
Jersey Hospice Care is the island’s only hospice – providing specialist palliative care for people with life-limiting conditions. Services include the Specialist Palliative Care Team – who support people at home, in hospital, and in care homes, an In Patient Unit providing a home away from home, educational programmes, complementary therapy, emotional, spiritual and faith support, and community bereavement services. Jersey Hospice Care is an independent charity, providing all its services without a charge to patients. It costs £18,000 a day to run – funded mainly by the generosity of islanders. This comes in the form of donations, fundraising, and sales in our charity shops, as well as through the outstanding work of the dedicated volunteers who give their time and skills to keep Hospice running.
The Hospice 2 Hospice half marathon is a 13.1 mile run thought the beautiful lanes of St Ouen, St Mary and St John.
Starting at the hospice fundraising shop in St Ouen and finishing in the hospice car park on Mont Cochon.
Entries are available for people over 17 years old and include an option for a two or four person relay.
