5k a day in March · 1 March 2021

We provide specialist palliative care to patients across Forth Valley, Cumbernauld & Kilsyth in the Hospice and in patients' own homes. We need to raise £19,452 every day and with your support we can help our patients to live well right up until the end of their life and make every moment count.

Story

Thank you for taking the time to read James’ JustGiving page.

James is a very active 8 year old who has great passion for football and fitness. During the pandemic he has found different ways to keep active which include football training, running and even climbing Ben Nevis!

At the start of the pandemic we all took part in various fundraising events and supported many different charities, including the fantastic NHS! Sadly COVID-19 has made it very difficult for fundraising events to take place and the support that charities rely on has had a massive impact. 

With your help and James’ hard work, he would love to show some support to Strathcarron Hospice which hold a special place in his families heart by running 5km every day in March. Sadly, James never got to meet his Granny Kathleen as she passed away in 2004. After a long battle with cancer, the end of her life was made comfortable by the fantastic care that the staff of Strathcarron provided Kathleen and her family. 

Please donate what you can but just as important, please share this page with your friends and family as I’m sure they’ll all have a special place in their heart for Strathcarron Hospice and will all want to give appreciation to an inspiring 8 year old!

As an independent hospice, Strathcarron cares for over 1,400 people every year at a time when both they and their family need it most. The Hospice philosophy is about living until you die and the team ensure people have every opportunity to achieve their goals right up until the last moment. To do this, the charity needs to raise raise over £12,900 a day to keep its services running.Please support me as I challenge myself for Strathcarron Hospice. Just £24 can pay for one hour of nursing care and really will make a difference. Thank you.
