Fundraising for Duchess Of Kent House Charity

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I completed my first half marathon at Reading on Sunday 29th March in memory of my late mother in law Violet "Jean" Warwick and to raise money for the Dutches of Kent House who provided such great care for her in her recent fight against cancer.

Thank you to all who sponsored me and cheered my along on the day - it gave me great encouragement to keep going to the end. It was a perfect day for running - cool, dry with a slight breeze. I completed in 1 hour 31 mins 27 secs, finishing 777th of the 12,000 or so runners who took part.

If you would like to sponsor me then you can still do so via this website. Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Duchess Of Kent House Charity gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thank you once again for your generous support

Duchess of Kent House (hospice) has 16 in-patient beds, day therapy facilities (3 days a week), out-patients and a Family Support Service (bereavement), providing palliative (hospice) care for the population of west and central Berkshire. In the last 15 years over 12,000 patients have been treated and cared-for by a team of 50 (full-time equivalent) consultants, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational and speech therapists, admin & site staff, etc. This care continues after death for those relatives who wish it through the FSS. All care is provided free of charge, according to need. As with all parts of the National Health Service there is never enough money to pay for all aspects of what we technically call ‘specialist palliative care’. This is where the independent charity Duchess of Kent House Trust comes in. Since 2002, the Duchess of Kent House Trust (independent charity) has raised £1,500,000 for the unit to pay for the Family Support Service, 2 in-patient beds otherwise not available, the dietician, chaplaincy, psychologist, aromatherapist, and equipment. Please support this local charity caring for local patients and their families. Thank you very much.
