Story
On 11th July my lovely sister Sarah and I will be striding out 18 miles for charity in memory of our dad Stephen...
We will be walking, remembering our dad and hoping to raise a few pennies for the fabulous Isabel Hospice and Garden House Hospice who have come together to organise the Fountain to Fountain hike (hike sounds way more impressive than walk, mental note to only refer to it as a hike from now on in!)
Why are we HIKING?
The Support that Isabel Hospice gave us in the weeks leading up to Dad's passing were invaluable. So, we aren't hiking on Sunday morning in July just to chat and remember our wonderful dad, we are hiking, in his memory, to raise funds and awareness.
It is so important to understanding how any money that we raise supports real people...
Did you know that £26 could pay for an hour of healthcare provided by 2 assistants for patients and £59 could pay for a Family Support team to give face to face support to a patient of their family member.
Isabel Hospice provide round the clock care for the East Herts community - this past year has been one of the toughest environments to work in ever and they rely heavily on fundraising events such as this to enable their continued care supporting hundreds of patients and their families during hugely difficult times for them.
Any donations would be gratefully received and will make an enormous difference to local people
