.

Virgin London Marathon

17 April 2011

The ballot has closed. The anticipation is building. It is something you have always wanted to do. But which charity should you run for and why? Help the Hospices has Golden Bond places. Apply now!

"Amazing support. It gave me such motivation when I needed it!"

"Thank you for all the support around the course, the emails and phone calls. You made me feel special and part of the team."

Our runners tell us what an incredible cause hospice care is to fundraise for because it touches so many lives. In the UK, one in two people know someone who has been cared for by a hospice. Watch our film to find out more.

 

Our runners also say that by becoming part of our dedicated team they received all the personal support they needed to make their marathon journey unforgettable!

 

Sponsorship

We ask our Golden Bond runners to raise a minimum sponsorship of £2000 for the hospice cause.
