2010 Baxters Loch Ness Marathon · 3 October 2010 ·

Highland Hospice provides specialist care and support to terminally ill patients and their families in the Highlands. We have an In Patient Unit in Inverness, provide day care across the region and offer bereavement counselling for relatives. We aim to provide dignity when time matters most.

Story

I may be certifiable choosing to run this marathon... That said, challenges are good.

When I first looked into running the marathon, it was going to be for purely selfish reasons: lose the baby belly and its something I've always wanted to do.  However, when I saw there were places running for the Highland Hospice the decision to enter it almost felt made for me.  

The Hospice is a special place, doing a huge amount of good work for many patients and families.  It costs £42,000 a week to run the place - not all of this funded by the NHS.  The care our family received was first class, we could not have asked for more.

Mum was a lot of things to many people.  She inspired in me a "can do" attitude, so even if it takes me 10 hours, I will complete this marathon.

Thanks for your donation.
