Hospice fundraiser Dave Welsh is taking on the Durham City Run for the fifth time this July, raising money for local charity St. Cuthbert’s Hospice.
Dave told the hospice: “I signed up because my daughter Kay works at the Hospice, in the Income Generation Team, and is one of the run leaders at their running club, St. Cuthbert’s Champions. I go along every Monday and meet with the runners and we do an easy run around the area. This will be my fifth Durham City Run and each year I sign up to run for St. Cuthbert’s Hospice to say thank you for their support. My family has used the Hospice services, so I know just how amazing and caring the staff are.”
“I’d really encourage anyone thinking about taking on the Durham City Run to sign up to race for the Hospice… why not give it a go? And, definitely come along to St Cuthbert’s Champions on a Monday night, we meet in the Hospice car park at 5.30pm.”
The Hospice have forty free charity places, for either the 5K or 10K race on Thursday 18th July 2024 in Durham City Centre, when fund-raisers pledge to raise £100 for the Hospice.

The charity must raise over £2.5 million pounds per year to run its services, with much of the money coming from local events and fundraising activities such as the Durham City Run. St. Cuthbert’s Hospice opened in 1988 and provides care for people with life-limiting conditions, as well as giving support to their families, those approaching the end of life, and the bereaved.
