"Beautiful people"

About: Strathcarron Hospice

(as a relative),

My mum was admitted to Strathcarron. I was amazed at the atmosphere in SH. It’s a place full of professionalism, compassion, empathy and a deep set need to provide dignity. My mum previously attended as a day care patient and always came home buzzing happily with her experiences every Wednesday.

Anyway, my mum is now there and it was always her wish to be there at the end. I’m now training hard to undertake a wee challenge to raise funds for Strathcarron. In February when the weather is at its worst, I plan to walk the West Highland Way, to make it more of a challenge I plan to walk the 94 Miles non stop, carrying a considerably heavy rucksack, wearing a Strathcarron T-Shirt, and for the last ten miles I’ll wear my kilt. Hopefully I’ll raise a fair few bob for you beautiful people and the work you do.

Hello

Thank you so much for your lovely post on Care Opinion which acknowledges the care your mum and her family have received as a result of her being a patient who has attended Day Care and is now currently in the In-Patient Unit. It sounds like both these services have supported you all in different ways and we’re very glad to have made that positive impact on your lives.

Our grateful thanks to you also for all your physical preparations ahead of walking the West Highland Way next year on our behalf. Sounds a massive task and it is indeed very much appreciated – without these fundraising efforts from individuals and groups, we would not be able to provide the care that we do to our communities.

Thank you once again and good luck with the training!

Lesley
