Story

The Last Mile team is deeply grateful for all the funds raised  in support of palliative care patients and their families. Together, in 2022, they raised $187,000 for the cause. Let’s top it in 2023.  A few examples of what a Last Mile gift can do: Provide meals for a family with a loved one in the Garden Room at Gifford. Purchase gas cards to help with travel to appointments or to visit a loved one. Provide pain relief with a massage. Support a unique wish to create a lasting memory.  I encourage my friends to join us. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/janet-whitaker2

I will be riding with friends on August 5th doing at least 80 miles around Vermont as I can't make it August 19th.  It's important to take time to do this ride since this service Gifford offers has a huge impact on our neighbors and friends who have to go through the end of life. 

Thank you so much and I will post pictures after our ride to again thank you for your support. I've experienced end of life with my husband Harry and know just how hard that time is.

Heartfelt Thanks!

Janet
