I'm running the Eastbourne Half Marathon!

I'm running the 2026 Eastbourne Half Marathon for local hospice care

St Wilfrid's Hospice (Eastbourne) provides high-quality care and support for people with a life-limiting illness, across Eastbourne, Seaford, Hailsham, Uckfield, Heathfield, and all points in between.
To help me raise vital funds for the hospice, please consider donating to my Eastbourne Half Marathon fundraising page.

The funds raised will help the hospice to protect their services, and ensure people in the community are able to continue receiving their care, at a time when they need it most.
Thank you.

So far, the amount you have raised could fund:

33

hour(s) of hands-on care for someone at home

10

day(s) of meals for a patient

4

nurse(s) for one whole day, allowing them to care for patients in their own home or on the Inpatient Unit

Please help me support St Wilfrids Hospice

Thursday 1st Jan

Hi everyone. I know everyone makes New Year resolutions but mine actually started last January. I was determined to make the most of my recovery. I started the Couch to 5K a year ago to start running, initially to raise money for Cancer Research last May. I have signed up to run my first half marathon in March for our local Hospice. My dear sister Carol died in St Elizabeth's Hospice and my wonderful mum was able to stay at home until the end due to the St Wilfrids Hospice at home team coming in. I am forever indebted to the hospices and as a family we are running to raise as much as we can. If anyone would like to sponsor me for St Wilfrids Hospice I would be very grateful.

Running Eastbourne half marathon

Thursday 1st Jan

Hi everyone. I know everyone makes New Year resolutions but mine actually started last January. I was determined to make the most of my recovery and do new things. My immunity is very low so I've focused on outdoor activities - hiking, paddleboarding and running. I started the Couch to 5K a year ago to start running, initially to raise money for Cancer Research last May. I have signed up to run my first half marathon in March for our local Hospice. My dear sister Carol died in St Elizabeth's Hospice and my wonderful mum was able to stay at home until the end due to the Hospice at home team coming in. I am forever indebted to the hospices and as a family we are running to raise as much as we can. If anyone would like to sponsor me for St Wilfrids Hospice I would be very grateful.

Thank you to my Sponsors
