Thanks for taking the time to visit my Virgin Money Giving page.

I will be taking part in the London Marathon on the 25th April 2010 and I will be running 26.2 miles to raise funds for The Iain Rennie Hospice at Home.

FOUR YEARS AGO, MY FATHER-IN-LAW DIED FROM CANCER ALONE IN HOSPITAL DESPITE HIS DYING WISH TO REMAIN AT HOME AND RECEIVE THE CARE NECESSARY TO REDUCE HIS  DISTRESS AND SUFFERING. I AM RUNNING THE LONDON MARATHON FOR IRHH BECAUSE THEY OFFER EXACTLY THE TYPE OF CARE AND SUPPORT THAT SHOULD BE UNIVERSALLY AVAILABLE TO TERMINALLY ILL PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. EVERYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO CHOOSE WHERE AND HOW THEY ARE TREATED. I HOPE THAT YOU WILL SUPPORT MY FIRST MARATHON ATTEMPT. IT IS VERY DAUNTING AND EXCITING!!!
