CHARMS is dedicated to helping and supporting people in Essex and surrounding counties who suffer from MS (Multiple Sclerosis); ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis); CP (Cerebral Palsy); strokes or other neurological disorders. There is no known cure for most of these illnesses, so working in conjunction with their medical specialists and with their GP's consent, it is our aim to provide sufferers with relief from their symptoms and to give what assistance we can to make their lives more bearable. To achieve this aim the centre offers a variety of therapies, but the main treatment available at the centre is Hyperbaric Oxygenation Therapy (HBOT). The centre is financed entirely by voluntary donations and no one has ever been turned away because they cannot afford to pay. UK Registered Charity No. 288153 |

As an emerging hospice, the J's Hospice is developing through the drive and vision of the local community to see enhanced support for young adults with life limiting conditions. Their aim is to offer all young adults aged 18 to 40 with a life limiting illness in Essex, the choice to receive the care and support that they need in the comfort and security of their own home. The J's Hospice helps young adults with life limiting conditions through the transition from children's to adult services and bridges the gap by providing age appropriate care and support. They are also raising money for their own building which will offer in-patient beds. This will be the only dedicated stand-alone young adult hospice in the East of England. The J's Hospice will provide an uplifting and supportive environment where young people will be encouraged to live life to the full, however short their lives. UK Registered Charity No 1099562 |

All entrants, in both races, are given sponsorship forms and encouraged to raise money for our nominated Charities through their efforts. They may if they wish, of course, raise money for their own favourite charity, project, or club. We estimate that some £400,000 has been raised and distributed to charities in this way over the last 20 or so years. |
