Megs and Dan take on the Yorkshire 3 Peaks in aid of Kirkwood Hospice.

Raising money for The Kirkwood (Kirkwood Hospice)

Yorkshire 3 Peaks · 12 September 2020 ·

The Kirkwood exists to improve the quality of life for local people, against all odds. We help those in our care to live well and make the most of every single day. We make the complex simple by focusing on what's important, and we support families and loved ones to live on and live well.

Story

We have decided to do the three peaks for kirkwood. Our family have supported kirkwood for many years. On 14th Febuary 2004, Stanley (Dan‘s grandad) passed away after a battle with cancer. Stanley spent his final weeks at Kirkwood. We will always be thankful for the care and support they gave Stanley and our family during this time.

Megs started working as an auxiliary nurse on the In patient unit in January this year. This means she see the work that kirkwood does and how important it is. She sees first hand how despite recent events, the staff at kirkwood have continued to support those who need it most at the end of their life. We want to walk with these patients and families in mind and know that however painful it may be to climb those peaks, what people with life limiting illnesses face and those around them is far worse.

Kirkwood is a household name that many of us in the community will have known someone that has been cared for by kirkwood in the past or may need the service in the future.
