Glos staff member to run London Marathon in aid of Children’s Hospice South West
6 September 2022
Gloucestershire Cricket's Membership and Ticketing Administrator, David Finch, will be running the London Marathon this October in aid of Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW).
Seasoned runner, David, will take part in his fourth marathon on Sunday 2 October, when he runs 26.2 miles across London to raise money for Gloucestershire's charity partner, CHSW. The charity provides hospice care for children with life-limiting conditions and their whole family with respite and short breaks, emergency care, palliative care and end of life care at three children's hospices across the South West.
Having taken up running in 2012, inspired by the team at BS7 Gym, David has developed a passion for running and wishes to raise funds for CHSW after seeing first-hand the charity's amazing work. A close family friend of David's partner, Ceri, has a very sick and disabled daughter, whose whole family receives wonderful support from CHSW.
David has stuck to a gruelling summer training programme in preparation for the London Marathon next month, and in doing so is aiming to raise an incredible £2,000 for the hospice.
Speaking about the challenge, David said: "I am so excited to run my fourth marathon since 2015. I can’t think of a more worthy mission than caring for those children not likely to reach adulthood and supporting those that love them, and I'm thrilled to be supporting such a wonderful charity."
