Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
We will be taking on a challenge between all of our club members. We will virtually travel from Troon to John O' Groats which is a total of 320 miles. Individually, we will walk, run and cycle and each week will add up our total miles covered and continue until we reach our destination. We want to give back to our community and have chosen to support the Ayrshire Hospice.
My mum works for the hospice which is why I want to fundraise and give something back. The hospice provides specialist palliative care and services to people affected by life-limiting illness across Ayrshire. Care is provided where there is no cure for the condition, but which improves the quality of each day for people who have a limited time to live. They help people to live as actively as they can to the end of their lives - however long that may be, where ever that may be. Care is provided by hospice staff in a number of places including people’s own homes, hospitals and care homes as well as in the hospice’s purpose built day care centre and in-patient unit.
The hospice not only takes care of people’s physical needs but look after their emotional, spiritual and social needs too. Family members, close friends and carers are also supported both during a person’s illness and in bereavement.
It is all about making today matter for the patients and their families.
