10 mile midnight walk · 16 June 2012

Our vision is that local patients with cancer and other life-limiting illness can choose how and where they want to be cared for towards the end of life. We provide 24/7 responsive Hospice at Home care; Day Hospice care and support for all the family during the illness and through bereavement.

Story

I have decided to take part in the Iain Rennie Grove House Hospice Care (IRGH) Midnight Walk 2012. They provided care and support to my dad during his battle with cancer.

It wasn't until my dad was diagnosed that we heard about the hospice and the fantastic support they offer. From the early complimentary therapies like reflexology to the later days when the Hospice At Home nurses would come round twice a day. These nurses were some of the nicest, kindest people you can meet.

I will always be grateful for the services they provided during that time and this is why I am trying to give a little back. Now to see if the knees will last the 10 miles...
