© Walking On The Bright Side

2009 -

The aim of Walking On The Bright Side is for every hospice in the UK to get one of
their supporters* to undertake organising a team of people to take part in a 10K
(approx 6 miles) fundraising walk in their locality, to raise awareness and all-
*I’m saying ‘one of their supporters’ because I’m conscious of the pressures on fundraising departments and this walk doesn’t need to add to their workload

"The Hospice movement has helped to transform people's attitude to the end of life and has given immense comfort for those who are terminally ill.
And the reason is very simple: the Hospice movement is more interested in the person than in the illness and although people think it is about dying, it is actually about making life easier for those who are coming towards the end.
It is about love as well as care. And I know from many people who have been in hospices, including my own wife, what an atmosphere of warmth and friendship there is.
I hope that Walking on the Bright Side will help to strengthen public understanding of the Hospice movement and raise the funds they need."
