I will be running the London Marathon in aid of Farleigh Hospice who cared greatly for my friend Nick's wife, Susie, when she sadly passed away from bowel cancer at the age of 39 in 2022.
Susie was an amazing, caring, supportive and thoughtful wife, mum, daughter, sister and friend to so many.
Since Susie's passing, Nick has been a driving force in organising events, fundraising, and encouraging family and friends to help raise over £70,000 for Farleigh Hospice in Susie's name.

Farleigh Hospice is a registered charity (no. 284670) which provides hospice care to people affected by life-limiting illnesses across mid Essex.
They help patients to live as actively as possible from the point of diagnosis to the end of their life, by providing physical and emotional care, free of charge.
With approximately 40% of their yearly running costs being funded by the local NHS, they rely on the support and goodwill of the local mid Essex community to contribute to the £21,271 it costs to provide their services each day.
