Story

In September this year Stuart lost his wife, Charlotte & Ben lost their Mum and we all lost our very lovely friend. Not a day goes by when we don’t think about her. 

Eileen had a very short and difficult battle with cancer and passed away less than 6 months after she was diagnosed.

She never wanted a celebration of her life but in her memory, and in recognition of the excellent care and support offered to her and her family by the Ayrshire Hospice, we are walking the Mighty Stride (23 miles from Glasgow Green to Balloch) as part of this years Glasgow Kiltwalk and in Australia, Nicky is walking the 38 km Coast to Vines trail the same weekend. 

It costs £22,000 a day to run the Ayrshire Hospice, approximately £8 million a year, with two thirds of that funded through voluntary donations, so every penny counts! 

Please give generously if you can.

Thank You.

About the charity

The Ayrshire Hospice

Verified by JustGiving

RCN SC011390
Our charity cares for adults in Ayrshire and Arran with life-limiting illnesses. We help them live as actively as possible to the end of their lives, however long that may be. Hospice care is open to all. It’s free for patients but it’s not free to provide. So we need to raise over £4M each year.
