London
Marathon run in memory of Gillian Nuttall in aid of Help The Hospices
In July 2005
my girlfriend's mother past away after a long fight against cancer.
She had experienced many highs and lows during her campaign battle but
the cancer eventually took her life – she was 54 years old. The
help and comfort received from the local hospice in Preston for both
her mum and the rest of the family was remarkable. They are still continuing
to give support as they grieve for their loss. Her brother, Roger, has
decided to brave the London Marathon. All money raised will be donated
to Help the Hospices.
Hospices in
the UK only receive one third of their funding from the government.
The remainder has to come from fundraising and donations. That’s
where Help the Hospices step in. Help the Hospices support hospices
throughout the UK.
All donations
for this worthwhile cause are much appreciated. If you would like to
make a donation please visit Roger's website directly at;
www.justgiving.com/rogernuttall
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor. Help the Hospices will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
Roger completed the marathon in 4 hours 20 minutes.
