Helena Keane has taken on the mammoth challenge of the 2025 London Marathon on Sunday 27th April!

We caught up with her recently as she shared her connection of the hospice and why she decided to fundraise for us.

''So I got into running from my dad! My dad is a huge runner, he’s participated in 4 marathons! I always remembered growing up my dad would always run before work every morning! He inspired me to get some running shoes and try it myself! I can not wait for him to watch me at the London marathon.

Running is massive for me, I’ve ran competitively which I’ve loved but I mainly run for my head and mindset! 
It’s the best type of therapy. 

I’ve wanted to run for Rossendale hospice with it being a local charity and I wanted to do my bit to help support you as much as I can!''
