Supply Chain Process Improvement Lead Simon Fell is raising much-needed funds for St Giles Hospice in this year’s London Marathon.
Simon is taking on the 26.2-mile course on April 21 and is appealing for sponsors to bolster the donation to St Giles Hospice, which provides invaluable care to people with cancer, motor neurone disease and other conditions from locations in Lichfield and Sutton Coldfield.
Simon said: “Whether living with an incurable illness, caring for someone who is, or grieving over the death of a loved one, St Giles are there to help.
“It doesn’t matter what stage of the journey, they provide priceless hospice care and support. It costs in excess of £10 million a year to deliver the care they provide locally and there is a growing need for their services.
“That’s why I’m running the London Marathon to raise funds for this great cause that is very close to my heart.
“It’s my first time running a marathon and it will be the longest distance I’ve ever run – I’m hoping to do it in under four hours but will be happy with just being able to finish it!!
