Run London Marathon for Foyle Hospice

If London Marathon is on your bucket list, now is the time to get it done and raise some much-needed funds for the Foyle Hospice.

Foyle Hospice provides ongoing palliative care services for patients with cancer and other life limiting illnesses, while supporting their families and loved ones in the North West of Northern Ireland. Its commitment is to "improve the quality of life of patients while extending care and support to their families and loved ones".

The Hospice has been providing Hospice and Palliative Care services in the North West since 1985 and has cared for 21,000 patients and their families to date.

The TCS London Marathon will take place on Sunday, April 2024, and Foyle Hospice is offering its marathon fundraisers a package which includes travel, hotel and guaranteed entry. They will also have a guide throughout the trip to make the Marathon seamless for the runners.

The London Marathon has become an annual, inspiring and colourful fixture in the world’s sporting calendar since the inaugural race on 29th March 1981.

More than a million people have completed the course, over a billion pounds has been raised for charity and there have been countless amazing tales of human achievement.

The infamous course which is part of the Abbots big six, takes you past a variety of London’s most memorable landmarks including Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, the London Eye, and the Cutty sark.

Not to mention the atmosphere is incredible, with 50,000 runners and streams of massive crowds cheering you on around the streets like a carnival - this is an event you certainly don’t want to miss!
