Story

I'm taking part in Santas on the Run! Tri-Series to raise much needed funds for Pilgrims Hospices this Christmas!

I did the single Santas on the Run two years ago with my partner, Sharon, in Margate and it was there that we saw other people doing the tri-series and getting an extra large medal.  I've been wanting to get one of those special medals ever since so I'm hoping to run 5k on three consecutive Sundays in Herne Bay, Folkestone and Margate.  That means dressing up as Santa three times and putting myself through the agony three times!  

I'm running for my Mum, as always, and also for a special friend, Su Wilson.  Both were brilliantly cared for at Pilgrims Hospice in Margate at different times.  Wonderful women!

Did you know...- £1 could pay for a patient to enjoy a mince pie and custard in the run up to Christmas- £10 could pay for a patients Christmas dinner- £30 could pay for 2 complimentary therapy sessions for a patient, to give them a distraction from their illness, and the opportunity to relax over the festive season. - £45 could help a Pilgrims counsellor provide a 1-1 session with someone struggling to cope with their first Christmas without a loved one. - £100 could allow our community nurses to continue making home visits to our patients that wish to spend their Christmas at home with family and friends.Thank you so much for visiting my JustGiving page and donating to help Pilgrims deliver skilled and compassionate end-of-life care, free of charge, to thousands of people in east Kent every year.Your support is appreciated and so important, thank you.
