Story
I am taking part in the Pilgrims Way Challenge, walking 15.5 miles from Canterbury to Wye on 15th June, Helen's birthday.
Helen was cared for at Ashford Pilgrims Hospice and because of that amazing care we had an extra 5 precious weeks with her, enabling her to spend her last few weeks with us at home.
At its heart, Pilgrims is dedicated to providing skilled and compassionate care, free of charge, to people living with an incurable illness in east Kent. Their vision is that people with a life-limiting illness are supported and empowered to live well in mind & body, making the most of the time they have. They care for over 2,500 patients a year, at their 3 inpatient units in Canterbury, Thanet & Ashford, their therapy centres, or in patients’ own homes. With 80% of their funding being voluntary contributions, your support cannot be overstated.
