"At the Hospice, Wendy could just be herself."


Leonore's sister Wendy died at the Hospice after a battle with breast cancer but the support her and her family received inspired Leonore to run a half marathon to raise money for more people like them. 


Fundraise for Saint Francis Hospice and you'll be making sure more local families recieve the care they deserve when they need it most.
