Well done and thank you to our Chestnut Tree House Half Marathon heroes!

Starting and finishing on Madeira Drive, the Brighton Half Marathon takes in the best sights the city has to offer such as the stunning Brighton Pavilion and famous Brighton Pier, as well as fabulous stretches of coastal road from Ovingdean Cliffs to Hove Lagoon.

You’re guaranteed a picturesque view and roaring crowds all the way round…check out the Brighton Half Marathon Race Course.

How your sponsor money helps

£157 allows a member of our Community Team to provide a few hours specialist care for a life-limited child in the child’s home, allowing the parents or carers to spend quality time together.

£285 allows us to provide for one hour of all care services at Chestnut Tree House.

£651 allows a child to spend a night at Chestnut Tree House, where they will receive specialist care and symptom management from our nursing team and be able to enjoy the hospice’s facilities.

£887 allows a nurse to support a family immediately following bereavement, helping them to plan the funeral and to say their final goodbyes to their child.

£1,500 allows our Community Team to host a Family Day for 20 families, providing a range of activities and information for the whole family to enjoy

£1,953 allows a child to spend 3 nights at Chestnut Tree House where they will receive specialist care from our nursing team and, where required, end of life care.

Aside from receiving care and symptom management, children will be able to enjoy our hydrotherapy pool, relax in the multi-sensory room and join in with a host of activities; whilst mum and dad get the chance to “recharge their batteries.”

Not a runner but would still like to get involved, become a volunteer!

Whilst we couldn’t do what we do without fundraisers, we couldn’t run our events without the tremendous support of our team of volunteers.

They are there to help marshall courses, register participants, direct car parking, organise bag drops, keep participants hydrated, and hand out medals.
