Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the Great North Run up in Newcastle - and am hoping to raise some money for the Iain Rennie Hospice.

I was grateful for the tremendous and caring support that Iain Rennie Hospice provided my Mum and my family when she was diagnosed with cancer - I am hoping to try and give something back.......

The Iain Rennie Hospice at Home is a registered charity offering specialist and supportive care and advice for patients with cancer and other life threatening illnesses in their homes. We also aim to help the relatives and those carers close to the patient during the illness and bereavement period.

The service is available 365 days a year and offers patients and carers access to specialist advice and nursing visits on a 24 hour on-call basis.

Our Hospice at Home service is offered to patients and families free of charge. It costs £4.8 million to provide our service, but only 12% of this is funded by local Primary Care Trusts. We work hard to raise the balance, relying on donations, fundraising events, legacies and the overwhelming support we receive from our local community.

I would be grateful for your support..... 

So please dig deep and donate now.
