Amit Chavda will be lacing up his trainers for his 6^th half marathon, to raise funds for Meadow House, so why not join him?

Amit worked as a transport manager for the transport company who picked up day care and lymphedema patients, and got to know the hospice, staff and patients really well.

“I didn’t know what went on behind the doors of Meadow House until I took that job. When I spoke to patients who had respite one day a week, got medical help or socialised, it was clear that Meadow House provided an amazing service.

“I realised that not many people knew about the hospice and the important work they do, so if I can help raise awareness and money, it’s the least I can do.

“I also know families who have had loved ones cared for by the hospice, and they received great care and support. It’s truly a special place with special staff.

“I’d definitely encourage others to take part. So many people come to boost the runners along the way and welcome us back to Walpole Park. And it’s for such a great cause. I’ll carry on taking part for as long as I can.

“I got my five and seven year old sons involved in fundraising too. They run the children’s Ealing mini mile on the Saturday, which they love, and I run the half marathon on the Sunday. We cheer each other on, and the atmosphere is electric.”

Ealing Half Marathon takes place on 28 September but if that sounds a little too daunting, why not sign up for the Ealing Feeling 5K instead?
