A dozen athletes will be running the London Marathon this year for the Shropshire charity which cared for their loved ones in the last few weeks of their lives.
Amongst those running for Severn Hospice is Verity Jones, from Snailbeach near Shrewsbury. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020 – exactly a week after her sister Maxine had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer.Verity said: “I am running the London Marathon in memory of my sister who we lost in September 2022. So many worlds changed at this point. Nothing was the same, nothing was familiar.
Verity is now cancer free and is determined to live her life the best she can – always with her sister by her side. "I will miss her until the day I die. I will carry her within my heart until then. I will be forever grateful for the care she received at Severn Hospice.”Like all the Severn Hospice runners, Verity has been pounding the streets and racking up the miles ahead of the iconic race. But it is not just the effort the runners put into training that takes its toll, they must also organise fundraisers, quizzes, raffles, and balls.
"We never expect anything in return, so when people say they want to thank us for the care we gave to their loved ones, we feel incredibly humbled.
