First time marathon runner James Roch, raised an outstanding amount of money for the Pembrokeshire based Hospice at Home charity. Paul Sartori Foundation have recently benefitted from James’s amazing fundraising effort. James, originally from Haverfordwest, attended Ysgol Y Preseli before moving to study at University, and now resides in London. So what better than to take on the epic London Marathon!
This was James’s first ever marathon and he completed it in a quick time of 3 hours 31 minutes and 40 seconds. He recently visited Paul Sartori House, in Winch Lane, Haverfordwest to present the Paul Sartori Clinical Team with a cheque for the total of £1050.00. He was also very grateful of his friends and family’s support on the day, and to everyone who donated.
James said “I chose to fundraise for Paul Sartori Foundation as they gave end-of-life care to both my grandparents, which meant they could spend their last few days of life at home, they are also a great local charity in Pembrokeshire to support.”
“Thank you for taking part in this fantastic event and choosing to support Paul Sartori Foundation. The amount raised will help ensure we can continue to provide hospice at home services in the Pembrokeshire community.“ Said Laura Hugman, Clinical Team Manager.
Paul Sartori Hospice at Home provides a range of services to Pembrokeshire people living in the final stages of a life-limiting illness, including home nursing care, equipment loan, complementary therapy, bereavement and counselling support, under 18’s anticipatory grief and bereavement support, physiotherapy, advance care planning and training.
The services provided by the Paul Sartori Hospice at Home enable people in the later stages of any life-limiting illness to be cared for and to die at home with dignity, independence, pain free and surrounded by those they hold most dear, if that is their wish.
All of the services are free of charge and are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, thanks to the generosity of the Pembrokeshire Community.
