Hey guys, as most of you know I'm doing the Milford Care Centre 10k Run/walk in preparation for my 10k Great Limerick Run. I have coaxed my mum and one of my work colleagues Ann to do it with me. It wasn't that hard as Milford Hospice is close to most people's hearts whether it is having a family member in respite there or having help with bereavement of losing a family member. My own personal experience with my uncle was a tough one as he had motor neuron disease. He was in the hospice for nearly 3 years but the care he got was second to none. Also my grandfather God rest him had care beyond belief. I have great admiration for all the staff from the tea ladies to the nursing staff. I have never raised money or done anything to support them before but that's going to change. We all have busy lives but life can change in the blink of an eye as I well know. To think the volunteers give up their spare time to help out and don't expect anything in return. This is my thank you may it be small but it's a start.
Milford Care Centre is a voluntary, not-for-profit organisation and registered charity. It was first established by the Little Company of Mary Sisters in 1928 and now provides Specialist Palliative Care and Older Persons Services in the Mid West.
