Six members of the Herts and Beds WAY group plus family and friends (eleven people in all) took part in the Isabel Hospice Chain Walk on Sunday September 20th, and have already raised over £1,000 in sponsorship for the hospice.
Four of the walkers have very personal connections with the hospice as it is where their partners were cared for in the last days and months of their lives – either as “outpatients” in the day hospice or as patients. The hospice has also provided support for them and their children through counselling and social and support groups.
Liz Monnickendam, who organised the walk said: “We are pleased to be able to take part in this walk as the Isabel Hospice played such a large part in our loved ones’ final days and delighted to have raised such a fantastic sum to help the continuing work of the hospice.”
“WAY brought us together, following the deaths of our partners,” she continues, “so we were glad to be able to walk as a group in their memory and to say thank you for the support that we have received.”
Well done to all of them for walking and raising money for such a worthy cause.
