Last February my Pop was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Unfortunately, his health declined rapidly and he passed away a month later. During this time, my family was supported by a lovely hospice nurse. Jersey Hospice is an incredible charity which does so much for so many.
This year I will be running the Hospice to Hospice half marathon.
Any donations for such a worthy charity would be greatly appreciated.
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 Half is a 13.1 mile half marathon run through 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.
There are also options to run the course as a 2-person or 4-person relay.
The minimum age to enter the full 13.1 miles is 17 years old on or before the day of the event. The minimum age to enter the 2 person or 4-person relay or the individual 10K is 16 years old on or before the day of the event.
