Hospice Nurse running a marathon in her front yard for charity

A hospice nurse is running laps around her front garden to raise much needed funds for a palliative care charity.

Catherine Graham from Whitley Bay is a nurse for Marie Curie, which offers care a support for people living with a terminal illness.

She was due to run a marathon this spring for the cause, but it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

After reading that a woman in Italy had completed a marathon on her balcony, Catherine set her self the challenge of covering 26.2 miles in her front yard.

You can support her fundraising efforts on her Just Giving page.
