Hospice calls on supporters to join the virtual community with a marathon challenge

Alice House Hospice invites people to put on their walking or running shoes for its One Mile Marathon which runs throughout March.

Participants are challenged to complete a marathon distance of 26.2 miles throughout the month by running, jogging or walking one mile a day.

You are also encouraged to share your progress with your friends online using the hashtag #OneMileMarathon.

Alice House said: “One Mile Marathon is a great way to get involved in fundraising for Alice House Hospice at your own pace, but also to join a virtual community of fundraisers participating in the same event.”

Fundraisers will receive a medal if they raise between £50 and £99 in sponsorship, plus a T-shirt up to £149 and a certificate if they raise over £150.
