One of Great Marlow School’s Year 13 students is running the London Marathon this weekend. Abbie Corrick is running, not only as a personal challenge and to make her family proud, but also to raise money for the Jessie May Children’s Hospice at Home, which is a charity that her aunt founded in 1996 after she lost a child. Jessie May Children’s Hospice at Home is a charity that provides exceptional palliative care and support to children and families with life-limiting conditions, in their own homes. Currently supporting around 180 families across Bristol, South Gloucestershire, North Somerset, Bath & North East Somerset, as well as Swindon & Wiltshire
Over the last decade, more and more children have been referred to Jessie May than ever before. Their medical needs have become ever more complex, and as a result, the clinical care Jessie May nurses provide is becoming more specialist, especially at end-of-life. Jessie May Hospice also provides bereavement support to the family when their child dies.
Today, our team of nurses delivering care in the home stands at 16, to fund just 1 of them costs from £41,000.
