Trinity Opens For Marathon Applications

20 Golden Bond places available for the Virgin London Marathon on 24 April 2016

Trinity Hospice in Clapham has 20 Golden Bond places available for the world famous Virgin London Marathon on 24 April 2016.

If you think you’re up to the challenge of taking part in this iconic sporting event and can pledge to raise over £2,000 for this fantastic local charity, you can apply online through their website.

Applications close on 9 October and successful applicants will be notified immediately.

If you are lucky enough to have already secured a place through the ballot, it is still possible for you to support Trinity! They can help you with fundraising ideas and materials and will be on hand to offer you support and advice throughout your training.

In the 2015 London Marathon, 15 runners raised over £50,000 in support of Trinity’s expert end of life care – enough to fund a Trinity nurse for a whole year! As an independent charity, Trinity receives less than 30% of its funding from the NHS. This means it must raise £8 million each year in order to continue providing its vital services free of charge to over 1,500 terminally ill Londoners and their families.

If you can’t wait until next year or want to start your training early, Trinity also has places available in Run to the Beat on 13 September 2015. Taking place around Wembley, this is London’s only music 10K and comprises live DJs, different music zones and a huge Finish Festival!

To apply for a place, simply visit trinityhospice.org.uk/londonmarathon2016 and say why you should be part of Team Trinity. Alternatively contact Clare on 020 7787 1087 or email cgilchrist@trinityhospice.org.uk
