Sewell on the go are putting in the miles for Dove House Hospice

Sewell on the go MD, Patrick Sewell is running a half marathon to raise over £3,000 for Dove House Hospice on Sunday 12 April 2026.

This event will be the latest event in a long fundraising partnership we’ve had with Dove House, a local hospice that supports those at the end of their lives and their families. The hospice is a charity and relies heavily on funds raised to continue working and supporting those in its care, and over the years we’ve taken part in two walking marathons, numerous ‘It’s a knock-out’ competitions and even been locked in ‘jail’ for a day, plus many more.

Patrick, a keen fundraiser, enjoys a run, but has never taken on such a distance before, so it’ll be a real challenge for him. He says:

“Dove House Hospice have always worked so hard to make what is their patients’ most difficult time easier, supporting thousands of people across the Hull and East Yorkshire area – these people are our friends, family, colleagues, and customers. We’ll always do what we can to raise funds for Dove House, with this event being the latest, and the one I’m most nervous about. While I am a keen runner, I’ve never run a half marathon before and I know it won’t be easy, but I know it will be a lot easier than the work the Dove House team do to support those in their care, which is why I’m determined to complete it and raise as much as I can for them in the process.”

The gruelling route will take Patrick and many others fundraising for Dove House around the streets of London, passing famous spots such as the London Eye, St Paul’s Cathedral, the Tower of London, Nelson’s Column and many more.
