Story

Myself and Cameron have now compleated three half marathons and have raised almost £2000 in aid of Willen Hospice.
     

 

 

Why are we running??

On Boxing day 2007 Cam and Hannah's Dad and my Uncle Mike lost his fight with a horrendous brain tumour. Willen Hospice were there to ensure that Mikes symptoms where controlled and that he was not in any pain throughout his last 18 months.

Aswell as looking after the patients Willen also support the entire family affected throughout the difficult times ,doing there best to keep spirits high.

Willen provide a service 24 hours a day without any cost to the patient or their families. There support extends beyond the Hospice itself where they care for over 600 patients each year.

Unfortunately without charitable donations and fundraising such a high standard of care cannot be achieved. Only 25% of Willen's costs are met by the NHS so they really need our support.

We cannot praise Willen Hospice enough for the support that they have given and what a wonderful place it is.

So please help us give a little back to them and give us your support!

Many Thanks Adam, Cameron & Hannah  x.x
