Alice House Hospice fundraisers are delighted with another fantastic response to their recruitment drive for this year’s Great North Run.
We currently have around 70 runners representing them in the celebrated half marathon which runs from Newcastle to South Shields on 9 September.
Alice House Hospice is working closely with their community partners Hartlepool Rugby Club on the annual Hootenanny & Beer Fest, held at the club every August Bank Holiday Sunday.
This year’s event takes place on 26 August and is sponsored by Cameron’s Brewery, as well as a host of local companies and club members who have kindly sponsored individual beer barrels.
9 year old Lewin Tubuna is in training to cycle coast to coast in just three days to raise money for Alice House Hospice patients.
Lewin was inspired by family friend Lee Dodgson who has undertaken a number of challenges for the local charity, most notably his run from Land’s End to John O’Groats in 2017. Lee said, after that event that he wanted to ‘pass the baton’ to someone else who might follow in his footsteps and Lewin is doing just that.
Monday 30th July 2018 is National Friendship Day
So this month why not celebrate National Friendship Day by coming along to our meeting on Saturday 28th July from 10:30am – Midday at the Wellbeing Centre, Wells Avenue.
One of this year’s Colour Runners for Alice House Hospice was Kelly O’Dwyer in memory of her brother Jason O’Dwyer who passed away in the Hospice in April 2018.
Kelly said, “The Hospice cared for my brother for the last two months of his life, it’s such a warming friendly place and the second day in he called it home. I knew then the he was going to be well looked after.”
