A HOSPICE is on the hunt for runners brave enough to have signed up to next year's London Marathon who are willing to back their cause.

St Clare Hospice, based in Hastingwood, is looking for people who have already landed a place in the annual fundraiser - but have yet to choose a charity to support.

Twelve participants have already given their backing to the hospice and are hoping to raise £20,000.

Fundraisers will receive invitations to information evenings at the hospice, as well as a free t-shirt or vest emblazoned with their names.

  • Anyone with a marathon place who would like to run for the hospice can call events fundraiser Grace Clutton on 01279 773753.
