Challenge information

Take on the London Marathon your way

On Sunday 2nd October 2021, be a part of the largest fundraising event on the planet. Take on the TCS Virtual London Marathon this year for #TeamStHelena to help local people face incurable illness and bereavement.

By taking part for St Helena Hospice and joining #TeamStHelena your registration fee will be completely free and you will receive the coveted official finisher medal! All we ask is that you raise sponsorship for St Helena Hospice.

The best thing is you can do it your way; walk, run, it’s entirely up to you! You will have a whole 24 hours to complete the 26.2 miles, so stop and start as many times as you need to throughout the day or, if you’re up for the challenge, complete it all in one go.

Benefits of completing the virtual event

• You can choose your own course and take part wherever you are in the world
• You have from 00:00:00 to 23:59:59 on 2nd October to complete the distance
• Your friends and family can come out to support you, or even run alongside you!
• No need to travel to London and find accommodation
• You'll still get the official finishers medal and T-shirt

How your fundraising could make a difference
We receive around a third of our funding from the NHS and rely on the generosity of our community for the rest. By fundraising for St Helena Hospice you'll help local people face incurable illness and bereavement. Here are some examples of the difference your sponsorship could make - why not set yourself a fundraising target? 

• £120 could help someone struggling with the traumatic death of a loved one over the phone with a bereavement support worker
• £500 could ensure that patients and families in distress receive the expert advice and guidance they need over the phone by keeping our SinglePoint office running for a day.
• £1,000 could provide pain management and relief from complex symptoms for 12 hours with help from our team of doctors.
