Will you step up to the challenge?

We’re getting involved in the UK’s 2.6 Challenge and hope you’ll join us and have some fun!  It should have been the London Marathon this weekend and in honour of the 26-mile route, a new challenge has been set.

Don’t worry if you’re not able to get out of your house at the moment, we’re not looking for superheroes, we’re looking for Hospice at Home West Cumbria Heroes!
