Story

I am running the Bristol Half Marathon on 5th Sept, to raise money for Dorothy House, in memory of my Mum, Irene.   

Dorothy House Hospice Care helps over 1,500 families affected by cancer, motor neurone disease and other life threatening conditions every year, either in their own homes or at the hospice in Winsley, near Bath. To ensure that patients have the best quality of life possible, Dorothy House provides pain and symptom relief, respite for carers, emotional and spiritual support and day care. 

This year, they need £3 million to maintain services at the current level. Dorothy House Hospice Care receives only about 30 per cent of its funding from the NHS, and the hospice depends on the generosity of local people.

They really do provide amazing support when people need it the most so I would be very grateful if you could sponsor me a few pennies and help Dorothy House to continue Caring when it counts. 

 

Thank you so much.
