My brother in law Dennis Calnan, a wonderful, gentle man died too soon, last autumn from Prostate Cancer. Dennis and his wife Kath received wonderful support from the Kirkwood Hospice. So, I am running the Boston Marathon in memory of Dennis to raise money for the Kirkwood to help other families.

Your £10 donation could fund a virtual wellbeing session for a patient living with heart failure.

A donation of £50 could pay for specialist counselling support for a patient and their family.

£100 could provide vital support to a patient in their own home from one of The Kirkwood Nurses.

The Kirkwood are here to support anyone affected by a life limiting illness, every step of the way. Right now, over 3,000 people in Kirklees are living with an illness from which they will not recover. Your support means we’re here for them.

In Reception, the Kirkwood has a memory tree of all the people they have helped. This is just one example of what a wonderful place Kirkwood is and the vital support they offer for families at difficult times.
