Alice House Hospice exists to ensure people affected by a life limiting illness or the death of a loved one have the care, comfort and support they need. As the only adult Hospice in the Hartlepool and East Durham areas of the UK, our unique range of services make a vital difference to the lives of thousands of families each year.Alice House is about so much more than caring for someone with cancer. Patients have a wide range of conditions, some come for respite care, some for symptom control and some make the Long Term Unit their home. The clinical staff provide top care with dignity and compassion, read some of our stories at www.alicehousehospice.co.uk

My dad spent his final days at Alice House hospice and the care and support they gave to him and our family made the unbearable that little easier. My two daughters,  Maisie aged 10 and Florence aged 7, wanted to raise money for this amazing place so they have challenged themselves to run 50 miles in April. Myself and Richard will be there to support them for every Mile, it would be great if you could spare anything at all to support their challenge and help Alice House .
