The Martlets Hospice offers runners one last chance to take up the challenge of this year’s Brighton Half Marathon on Sunday, February 28.
All standard entries have sold out, however, the Hove based charity has a limited number of charity spaces still available, but they must be filled by Friday January 28.
Runners can choose to buy a place from the Martlets for £85 (no sponsorship required) or ask family and friends to sponsor them to complete the challenge of the 13.2 mile race.
Funds raised will help the Martlets provide end of life care to adults who are affected by terminal and life limiting illness, as well as caring for their families and loved ones.
Facilities include an 18 bed In-Patient Unit, Hospice at Home service, Patient and Family Support team and Martlets Day Services.
The Martlets receives less than a third of their funding from the government and must raise £11,000 a day to care for patients and their families.
If you want to run for the Martlets in the Brighton Half Marathon or any other running events throughout the country, telephone Clem Hunnisett in the Martlets Fundraising office on 01273 747455 or email: clem.hunnisett@martlets.org.uk
