Chris Completes the Hospiscare Marathon In A Month

Published: 20/10/2021

Chris Long is a long-term customer of ours at Bluebird Care Exeter.

He was inspired to take part in a Hospicare fundraising event after seeing a poster on Exeter’s Quayside during one of his regular outings with his Bluebird Care Exeter Care Assistant. He told the Care Assistant that he would love to take part and signed up.

Chris’s mission was a challenging one. During October, participants are asked cover 26.2 miles, in their own way and at their own pace. However, Chris has already smashed his target and has now completed his marathon!

Hospiscare Events Manager, Tori Vince, says “We are so grateful to Chris for taking on Marathon in a Month to support Hospiscare – he is a true inspiration.”

You can still donate to Chris’ campaign to support the care of people living with a terminal illness across Devon.  Please visit: www.justgiving.com/fundraising/christopher-long9
