Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My name is Vicki, Support Nurse for Long Term Conditions at Rossendale Hospice.  I am taking part in the Manchester 10k on Sunday 26th May 2013 and also, together with my son Nathan Beard, the Great North Run on Sunday 15th September 2013.

At the Hospice we provide care to anyone with a life limiting illness including MS, Motor Neurone disease, Parkinsons, Heart, Lung, Liver and kidney failure and also cancer to name a few.  Some of our services include Day Therapy, Hospice at Home, Counselling for the whole family and complementary therapies.

I am really pleased that I have the opportunity to show the patients how inspired I am with their courage and determination they show while dealing with their illness.

Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
