“My Auntie Elaine was a big part of my life growing up." Abigail said. "I was devastated when she passed away from cervical cancer in 2013. My Auntie was cared for by Pendleside Hospice and by running the London Marathon and raising money for the charity, it will hopefully show my appreciation in all that they did to help care for her and our family family.

My Dad has ran the marathon three times, and my husband has taken part in it too - both of whom have raised money for Pendleside. my sister and brother-in-law have also taken part, so I feel that it is now my turn and to continue the family tradition! 😅"

Paul Swindells Bio Photo

Paul Swindells is part of the ‘Class of 2024’ Pendleside Hospice team, running the London Marathon in April this year.

Paul says, "I'm doing the Marathon for Allan, my father-in-law, who passed away peacefully in Pendleside Hospice last year after a brave battle with Lymphoma.

I’m hoping to do it in under four hours so I had better get training!

I’m one of two Directors at MKM Building Supplies and we were the main sponsor for the corporate challenge last year, so with all the events and regularly visiting my father-in-law, Pendleside Hospice has become a huge part of my life."
