And they did it! 🥾💙

We’re so proud of our colleagues Bee, our Inpatient Unit Manager, and Teresa, our on-site Coffee Shop Supervisor, who completed the 100km Thames Path Ultra over the weekend in aid of St John’s Hospice.

It was a gruelling challenge, with the duo walking throughout the night to complete the 100km in 29 hours. Their determination has also helped them smash their fundraising target, raising an amazing £1,300 for the hospice!

To put that into perspective, £1,300 could help provide 1 group art and music session at our Wellbeing Centre, 5 bereavement counselling sessions, 8 complementary therapy sessions, 10 visits from a community nurse and 24 hours of Hospice@Home support.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported Bee and Teresa, shared words of encouragement, sent kind messages and donated to their challenge. Your support helped keep them going every step of the way!

Well done, Bee and Teresa – what an incredible achievement! 👏

Meet Steve! 👋

Next Wednesday, Steve, who is our Director of Estates, Facilities and Projects, will be joining other supporters taking on the London to Paris cycle challenge, in aid of St John’s Hospice.

Over the four days, he’ll cycle 50+ miles each day, tackling some of the same roads used by the Tour de France. A cyclist’s dream… and a serious challenge! 🇬🇧🚴🇫🇷

Steve told us: “I’ve never been one for running, so that dismissed marathons! I wanted to undertake a serious challenge for our amazing charity that people would look at and think, ‘Yep, he’s going to struggle with that!’ and donate."

And it’s had exactly that effect! Steve has already raised an incredible £3,000.

“I’m really looking forward to day four – the final 60+ miles to Paris, covering the same route as the final stage of the Tour de France. I’d also love to have a big night out in Paris to celebrate completing the challenge, but more realistically, it’ll be a cold beer, an ice bath and an early night!”

We’re looking forward to following Steve’s journey and receiving updates along the way. Good luck, Steve – we’ll be rooting for you!

In preparation for the Thames Path Ultra Challenge this September, Bee, our Inpatient Unit Manager, and Teresa, our on-site Coffee Shop Supervisor, have literally gone the extra mile! 🥾💙

The pair completed a 42km Summer Walk, covering the equivalent of a marathon, as they ramp up their training to face the incredible 100km challenge from Putney to Henley-on-Thames in September.

“We’re taking on this challenge for St John’s Hospice because no one should have to navigate the end of their life, or the loss of a loved one, alone. St John’s brings, comfort, dignity and warmth to patients and their loved ones when it matters the most. Walking 100km is a huge challenge, but it’s nothing compared to the courage of the people the hospice cares for every day.”

We’re in awe of everything Bee and Teresa do and we’re so grateful for the extra mile they’re going to support our patients and their loved ones.

Good luck with the final training push, Bee and Teresa!
