In May 2010 my Dad was admitted to St Michael's Hospice in Harrogate just weeks after being diagnosed suddenly with terminal cancer.  He died on 8 May aged 65 just a few months after retiring. 

Please take a moment to read my dad's story on www.justgiving.com/kate-scott2010

Last year I raised over £2000 (including gift aid) for Bowel Cancer UK by completing a 5k run for the first time in my life.  This year help me to raise more, this time for St Michael's Hospice in Harrogate, in a sponsored event.  Due to an ongoing knee injury, I am collecting sponsorship for the hospice's Midnight Walk, a quarter marathon (approx 10k) which I am doing at the beginning of July, rather than the York 10k as displayed on this page. 

The hospice cares for those at the end of their life in its in-patient unit but also provides much needed respite care, has a day therapy unit and a community bereavement service Just B which supports children, young people and adults who have been bereaved.  There is no cost to those who use this service. 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
