“Running every day for over two months is on a whole new level. This challenge is definitely the most extreme thing I’ve ever done.” Arran Jaiswal is taking on the most epic challenge of running 55 half marathons in 55 days! 👟 Arran started the extreme feat on 20 February to raise money towards our compassionate care. The challenge will see him running 13.1 miles (21km) a day until 15 April. Arran, who owns a recruitment business based in Nottingham, has managed to fit his runs around other commitments, often running in the mornings before starting his working day. He said the time difference with the USA, where his clients are based, has been helpful, allowing him to juggle his job, the school run, and the half marathon challenge.

On Monday, we welcomed Toby Perkins MP to Ashgate, where he met with our Chair, Chris Hallam, our Chief Executive, Barbara-Anne Walker, and Deputy Chief Executive, Matt Corbishley, to discuss the financial challenges hospices like Ashgate are facing. We thanked him for the Government’s £100 million hospice fund, from which we’ve received £211,820 this year. While this funding is welcome, it can only be used for capital improvements – not for running costs, care, or staff wages. At Ashgate, it has covered the cost of refurbishing our Day Services space, Clinic rooms, and Main Reception, alongside £290,000 secured from Trusts and Grants, businesses and supporters. His visit was an important opportunity to highlight the ongoing pressures we face. Despite this funding, we continue to rely on the generosity of our community – the people who take part in fundraising events, shop with us, or donate. End of life care is essential and shouldn’t have to be funded in this way. We’ll keep working with MPs, local commissioners, and Hospice UK to push for a fair and sustainable funding agreement, so hospices like ours receive the support they need.
