The end is in sight for half marathon runner Derek
Oct 27, 2025
Derek set himself one heck of a challenge – to run a half marathon every month this year to raise funds for our hospice. In memory of a close friend who we cared for, Derek wants to raise money to say thank you for everything we did for him and his family.
And he’s kept his word. 10 down, two to go and he can hang up his trainers for a while.
From the Chilterns 3 peaks challenge, 18 miles and over 2300ft elevation, to Ealing Half Marathon, and setting his personal best time of 1hr 49mins, he’s conquered them all.
We can’t thank you enough Derek, and to everyone who donated. With almost £1,400 raised, you can help him reach his target of £1565
