Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Reading Half Marathon 2010 · 21 March 2010 ·

Duchess of Kent House (hospice) has 16 in-patient beds, day therapy facilities (3 days a week), out-patients and a Family Support Service (bereavement), providing palliative (hospice) care for the population of west and central Berkshire. In the last 15 years over 12,000 patients have been treated and cared-for by a team of 50 (full-time equivalent) consultants, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational and speech therapists, admin & site staff, etc. This care continues after death for those relatives who wish it through the FSS. All care is provided free of charge, according to need. As with all parts of the National Health Service there is never enough money to pay for all aspects of what we technically call ‘specialist palliative care’. This is where the independent charity Duchess of Kent House Trust comes in. Since 2002, the Duchess of Kent House Trust (independent charity) has raised £1,500,000 for the unit to pay for the Family Support Service, 2 in-patient beds otherwise not available, the dietician, chaplaincy, psychologist, aromatherapist, and equipment. Please support this local charity caring for local patients and their families. Thank you very much.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year I am running for the Duchess of Kent Hospice in Reading. The unit treats adult patients with cancer and other life-shortening diseases. The hospice provides out-patient, in-patient and day therapy services, which includes respite care and symptom control. www.dokhc.org.uk 

So any pennies and pounds would be greatly appreciated towards this great charity.

Many thanks, love Jon x (13.1 miles to go)

For my much loved Auntie Jan, Auntie Jenny and Uncle Tony x
