My first experience of the incredible work of Kirkwood Hospice happened when they took care of my parents Mary and Philip Hemingway during their illnesses and last days.  My three sisters and myself were girls at this challenging time and the staff provided a supportive peaceful environment at such a sad and difficult period in our young lives.  This is something we will be eternally grateful for and remember.

I am incredible proud to represent Kirkwood Hospice for the Great North Run 2021.  It will certainly be a huge challenge for me and something I've never done before. I would appreciate all your support for such a worthy cause.
