Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We're back! After your generosity last year helped us smash our fundraising target, we are trying to help Kilbryde Hospice once again. So we decided to take part in Kilbryde's 'virtual Santa dash', a 5km run of our own design, with some little helpers for the last km or so...

Last time we put ourselves through months of training and preparation to undertake the Glasgow Half Marathon! Since then we've managed to... well not do very much training at all!

Our preparation this time round has consisted of getting some Santa costumes and clearing the calendar for the run on Saturday 12th December!

So, can you help us hit our target of £200 in less than a week? Kilbryde Hospice relies on donations and has a target of £2.5million per year to guarantee the care it currently provides. There will be 77 supporters each trying to raise £100 - by each raising £100 we will pay for the full day of care across all Kilbryde services on Christmas Day which costs £7,700.

In June 2019 our mum passed away peacefully at Kilbryde Hospice in East Kilbride. During her few weeks there she received the most fantastic care - compassionate, personal and dignified. The Kilbryde staff supported us, and our family through a very difficult period. The facilities are outstanding and the specialist palliative care provided is so vital that we felt that we had to try to contribute towards their mission to give something back - however small. This is important to us because of the benefit we received from them.
