Claire Estick London Marathon 2023

I've always wanted to run the London Marathon and for many years to give me a platform to raise money for charities close to my heart .

The Daniel Estick Trust, established by myself and Ian after the death of our son works hard to provide memory boxes to hospices all over the UK to support bereaved parents. One of those hospices is Willen based in our home town of Milton Keynes. The Daniel Estick Trust works closely with the family support team who use the trusts memory boxes to help support families who loose loved ones at the Hospice.

It's the big 5..0.. for me this year and Daniel would have turned 16 in March if he was still with us, so I've teamed up with Willen Hospice to mark this important year to realise my wish to stagger 26.2 miles to raise funds for both charities so we can both continue to support parents who suffer the death of a child.

40% of my fundraising will go to Willen Hospice, the other 60% to The Daniel Estick Trust to allow both charities to keep up the good work both locally in Milton Keynes and across the wider UK Hospice network.
