Flora London Marathon ~ Sunday 26th April 2009

Make them proud by running for Help the Hospices

“It was one of the most memorable days I have ever had. I have achieved a life time goal, made loads of new friends, got extremely fit…and best of all, HELPED the HOSPICES - something that every person who ran, supported and donated should be proud off!!”
Sunflower Runner

Help the Hospices has guaranteed places in the Flora London Marathon 2009. If you are allocated one of our places then we don’t ask for a registration fee or a minimum sponsorship total but we do hope that you will raise approximately £2,000. Take advantage of one of the best runner’s packages around and register now.

The demand for places we receive far outweighs supply so we suggest that all runners also apply for a place in the official ballot. You can register for the online ballot by going to www.london-marathon.co.uk and entering your details.

If you succeed in getting your own place from the organizers let us know and we will send you a running pack and welcome you to the Sunflower Runners Team.
