"Running the Havering Half helped me deal with my grief."

"The Hospice saved Vlad and they saved me."
When the pandemic hit, Vlad, who lived in a care home, was unable to be visited by his parents. In his distress, his condition deteriorated and the Hospice got involved to help co-ordinate his care and manage his pain. His mother now credits the Hospice with saving her son's life.
