TWO STAFF members from Foley Grange care home in Kidderminster challenged themselves to walk a marathon in one day and £520 to raise funds for the Kemp Hospice.
Senior night carer, Michelle Reaves and activities co-ordinator Holli Whitehouse completed the 26.34mile challenge in just over eight hours, all the while chanting, ‘What do we do? We
walk!’.
The cash raised by Michelle and Holli will contribute towards the specialist care the hospice provides for patients and their families.
Holli and Michelle said: “We wanted to raise awareness of the support and services that Kemp Hospice provides.
“The challenge was great fun, and we’re so pleased to have built a relationship with this extremely worthy charity.”
Michelle Pilgrim, Foley Grange’s home manager, added: ‘The residents and team members in our home are so proud of Michelle and Holli for tackling this huge challenge in aid of Kemp
Hospice.
‘We’d all like to say a huge well done to these fantastic ladies – you’re an inspiration.”
People can meet Holli, Michelle and the residents at Foley Grange at the home’s monthly Come Dine With Me event on November 6 where over 65s in the community are welcome to join the residents for lunch.
