In January Celaine Cave, Technical Systems Analyst in UK Materials, will be swapping a relaxing winter weekend for walking a full marathon around London, all to raise vital funds for The Myton Hospices.
On 30th January 2027, Celaine will take on the Ultra Challenges London Winter Walk covering 26.2 miles (42km) from the Oval Cricket Ground. The challenge is expected to take around seven to eight hours, with January weather adding an extra test!
Myton Hospices is a cause particularly close to Celaine’s heart, having cared for members of her family. More recently, Celaine has experienced first-hand just how important specialist palliative and end-of-life care can be, not only for patients but for their families too.
Training is already well underway, including a successful test half-marathon. Celaine has already passed her minimum £300 fundraising target and is now aiming to raise £1,000.
Let’s get behind Celaine and help her reach her target! If you’d like to support her challenge and Myton Hospices, you can donate through Celaine’s JustGiving page www.justgiving.com/page/celainecave26
Good luck, Celaine. We’ll be cheering you on every step of those 26.2 miles!
