Run For Dorothy House logo

Why run for Dorothy House?
Every day, Dorothy House Hospice Care helps over 800 families affected by cancer, motor neurone disease and other life threatening conditions, either in their own homes or at the hospice in Winsley, near Bath. To ensure that patients have the best quality of life possible, Dorothy House provides pain and symptom relief, respite for carers, emotional and spiritual support and day care.


This year, we need £3 million to maintain our services at the current level. Only a third of this money comes from the NHS and the hospice depends on the generosity of local people. By taking part and being sponsored in any (or all!) of these events you can help Dorothy House to continue Caring when it counts.

TAKING PART IN A RACE NOT LISTED?

If you are signed up for an event that isn't listed, you can still join Team Dotty and raise money for Dorothy House. Let us know what the event is, and when and where it is taking place, and we'll send you some sponsorship forms and a T-shirt.

WHAT IS A GOLDEN BOND?

A Golden Bond is a place that Dorothy House has bought in an event such as the Bath Half Marathon. We then sell these places to people on a first-come first-served basis who are willing to run for Dorothy House, in return for a pledge to raise a minimum amount of money for the charity. This amount is set by the race organisers, not by the charity.

People who have their own place in any race are welcome to run in aid of Dorothy House, and there is no minimum amount of sponsorship to be raised.
