I want to donate!

I am not a runner! However, I have been training to run a half marathon in support of Hospices of Hope.

Hospices of Hope provides access to free hospice care to people in South East Europe. They believe that “Everyone deserves to live and die with dignity and without pain”. Something that we often take for granted in our home country.

This charity was founded by a relative of mine, Graham Perolls. Graham visited Romania in 1989 at a time when there was no hospice care available in Romania. Morphine was illegal. Cancer patients were left to die in pain with no emotional or spiritual support. After witnessing a young man dying in terrible pain Graham decided that he needed to use his hospice experience from the UK to help this situation. In 1991 Hospices of Hope was founded and to date and they have helped more than 40,000 patients and their families.

There is still much work to do! In 2015 just under 8% of terminally ill patients in Romania received some sort of specialist hospice care. Hospice Casa Speranei cared for over a quarter of those patients.

I visited some of their hospices earlier this year and was amazed by the passion, love and determination of their teams. I was especially touched by a visit to their recently opened therapy centre for children with rare or life limiting illnesses on the outskirts of Bucharest. For more information on Hospices of Hope, see their website www.hospicesofhope.co.uk

HOSPICE Casa Sperantei este o organizatie de caritate neguvernamentala infiintata la Brasov, in anul 1992, la initiativa britanicului Graham Perolls, cu scopul introducerii si dezvoltarii serviciilor specializate de ingrijire pentru bolnavii incurabili in stadii avansate. Este prima unitate de acest fel din Romania si centru de excelenta pentru Europa de Est, in domeniul ingrijirii paliative.

HOSPICE Casa Speranței oferă servicii de îngrijire paliativă copiilor și adulților care suferă de boli incurabile. Serviciile sunt oferite în centre de zi, ambulatorii și unități proprii pentru internare din Brașov și București, la domiciliul pacienților și în spitalele partenere. Întregul sprijin al fundației este gratuit și oferit necondiționat bolnavilor și familiilor acestora, indiferent de condiția materială, starea socială și mediul din care provin pacienții. HOSPICE este o casă, un refugiu și un simbol care ne amintește tuturor că nu suntem singuri și că ne putem alia pentru a crea clipe de normalitate, atunci când până și lucrurile banale ajung să fie facute cu un efort uluitor.

Raiffeisen Bank Bucharest International Marathon este organizat de Asociația Bucharest Running Club în parteneriat cu Federația Română de Atletism și Primaria Municipiului București.  Este cel mai mare eveniment de alergare din România, aflat la a 11-a ediție, iar anul acesta va fi pe 13-14 Octombrie, cu startul în Piața Constituției din București.  Probele de concurs sunt: - Marato
