Story

<p>Certain phone calls...you know are going to be bad news!...."Nans got cancer" Ha? That must be a mistake! My Nan is invincible...she can't die before my wedding day, she hasn't met my children &amp; she owns a Nike tracksuit! The reality soon kicked in. She fought a losing battle for over 2 years - which would have been 6months without <strong>Harris Hospice</strong>! The support and drive to fight 24hours a day from the nurses in the comfort of her own home, was too good to be true!</p> <p>History repeated itself...I lost the rest of my Grandparents one after the other shortly after, but fortunately Harris Hospice stuck by them <strong>all</strong> and my family to support until the end and more!</p> <p>One day Harris Hospice will do you proud as they did my family and me. It costs &pound;1.5 million each year to maintain the services,&nbsp;with less than half&nbsp;of the funding from the NHS. That leaves the rest down to <strong>US</strong>!&nbsp; Your family or friends could be one of the 400+ home care patients next year, so lets make sure they have the funding and support to do you as proud as they have me!</p> <p>&pound;5,6,7,8,9,or &pound;100 will make a difference.&nbsp; I'm running 26 miles and will raise as much money as I can until the end!</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
