Story

Karen:  We decided  to join the sponsored climb because as a doctor at Isabel Hospice, I know first hand just how important good palliative care is and can see what a positive difference the hospice makes.  Isabel Hospice is dedicated to improving the lives of patients and their families, both within the in-patient unit and in the wider community, giving help and support in what can otherwise be the darkest of times and we hope that we can continue. Every penny contributed will go directly to the charity. Thank you. 

Martin: I also believe that Isabel Hospice provides crucial palliative care services and since it is a charity, reliant on funds raised, I wanted to directly help with this, making my contribution to this work, joining the climb..  

Isabel Hospice cares for hundreds of patients and their families in our community. Its been a really hard few months for us and many charities and fundraising events are crucial to enable Isabel to continue our vital end of life care.
