Farnham Pilgrim Marathon · 19 September 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.

Im doing this marathon to raise money for the Duchess of Kent hospice in Reading who looked after my Nan during her final days with us.  My nan Kath was an inspiration to me and my brother Andrew and we thank her for everything she done for us and being part of our lives.  She is greatly missed by both of us and also Gen, Soph and my Grandad Allan.

I have never run a marathon before so this is going to hurt!

I know that times are hard and money is tight hence why I have come up with the following incentive...everyone knows how much I love my hair so if we raise the full target amount of £2000 I will let the person who donates the highest amount SHAVE MY HEAD!!! Yes you have read this correctly! 

So please dig deep and donate. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
