Grief is a long-distance journey.
So is marathon training.
But unlike a marathon, grief has no finish line - you keep moving forward, carrying your loved one with you.
Our London Marathon team are running for Sue Ryder, because no one should face death or grief alone.

Thanks for sharing! The Mascot Gold Cup is one of our favourite events- always a good giggle, and every penny raised makes such a difference to the people we care for 💙
Hi @starcurl.bsky.social thanks for your question. At times stockrooms may be full, in which case we have to stop accepting donations in order to keep the area safe. I'm concerned to hear that you have experienced rudeness, if you can leave any feedback at sueryder.org/feedback we can investigate.
Is there anything more "Yorkshire" than a world-record-breaking race featuring people in giant foam costumes running over hurdles? 🌹
The Mascot Gold Cup at Wetherby Racecourse (April 26th) is a local treasure.
If you’ve never seen a panto pony jump a hurdle, this is your year. 🐴💦

It highlights that over 600,000 people will die this year without sufficient care, emphasizing the importance of providing palliative care at home. The text urges collaboration between the sector and government to prevent unnecessary pain and ensure dignified conditions. It is attributed to James Sanderson, Chief Executive, Sue Ryder.

We have responded to the Public Accounts Committee report on the financial sustainability of adult hospices in England. The report examines the financial challenges in the sector and how government and NHS England need to respond. Read our quote from our Chief Executive, @jamescsanderson.bsky.social

Leanne Creighton, Head of Policy, Campaigns and Public Affairs at Sue Ryder, says: This divide between the NHS and council-led social care leads to people being passed from pillar to post, without the care and support they need to manage their symptoms and live their lives well. People facing the most challenging conditions, including dementia, are often the most punished as they are forced into a system of bureaucracy, rather than one that wraps care and support around them. This system is long overdue an overhaul so it can put people ahead of processes and respect ahead of red tape.
The gap between what constitutes healthcare and social care has been rightly identified by Baroness Casey as a very real issue that causes unnecessary pain and suffering for a great many people with a terminal illness and their families.
Later today there's due to be a debate in Parliament on the future of palliative care, led by Rachael Maskell MP. We hope to see MPs discuss what must be addressed to improve care for people at the end of life - including tackling inequalities in access and delays in hospice care.
First half of quote from Sue Ryder Chief Executive James Sanderson: The absence of any big funding announcements, including for palliative care, means the Government’s plan for palliative care, its Modern Service Framework, really needs to deliver later this year. Following engagement with Sue Ryder, we’re encouraged by the direction the Government is taking and its framework has the potential to be transformative for people with a terminal illness. Without dedicated funding, however, the framework alone will be insufficient to deliver the reform required.
Quote continues: One third of the people in a hospital bed right now are in the last year of life. This places huge pressure on the NHS and most of these people would rather be receiving care at home, surrounded by the people they love. The palliative care sector could deliver that last wish for more people if the Government redirects healthcare funding, allowing us to expand the care we provide beyond hospices and into people’s homes. This Government has shown the value it places in palliative care with grants, but one-off payments won’t facilitate the new models of care needed to meet the rising and increasingly complex demand for care.
The Government’s Modern Service Framework for palliative care must be resourced so that palliative care can reach everyone who needs it.

The response strengthens the Government’s commitment to a Modern Service Framework for Palliative and End of Life Care, helping services meet rising and more complex demand. 2/3
Today, the Government has accepted almost all recommendations from the Health and Social Care Committee report on palliative care, which highlighted gaps in access, quality, workforce pressures and data.

Text says: With a 55% increase in demand for palliative care expected by 2031, the sector must be ready for the future and find innovative ways to meet the challenges facing society today. Background has abstract shapes in blue and green.
Across the UK, palliative and end‑of‑life care is under real pressure, but the challenge goes beyond lack of money and hospice beds.
Read our latest blog from Chief Executive @jamescsanderson.bsky.social who shares thoughts on the debate and how the sector can adapt sueryder.org/FebBlog
At Sue Ryder, we believe everyone should have access to high-quality palliative and end-of-life care. No exceptions. We’ve set out what that looks like and how it can be achieved in our blog: www.sueryder.org/blog/assiste...
Quote from Sue Ryder Chief Executive, James Sanderson: "We welcome this piece of research from Marie Curie. How we die matters, but most of us don't think about it until it happens to someone we know. None of us want our loved ones to die in a hospital corridor or in the back of an ambulance. The memories we make once we know that someone we love is dying should be treasured and that time should be filled with love."
Continued quote from Sue Ryder Chief Executive, James Sanderson: "To think instead that people are experiencing pain, trauma and guilt is extremely distressing. This reality is happening to too many people. Enough people to fill Wembley Stadium nearly twice over, every year. This is something our government and our sector cannot tolerate any longer. If the Government's plan for end-of-life care, its Modern Service Framework, is shaped in partnership with the palliative care sector, then collectively I believe we can change this. Death deserves better."
We welcome new research published today by
@mariecurieuk.bsky.social which shows that almost 1 in 3 people in England are dying without the care they need – that’s around 170,000 people each year. This is unacceptable. Our Chief Executive @jamescsanderson.bsky.social responds to this new research:
