Week 47 - Robin House Children's Hospice

So while thousands of runners where pounding the streets of London last weekend, a friend of mine was completing his own 26 mile endeavour.  Kenny took part in the Glasgow Kiltwalk, walking from Hampden Park to Loch Lomond despite having major surgery just 10 weeks ago!

Robin House was the second hospice opened by the Children's Hospice Association of Scotland (CHAS).  The hospice houses eight children who require palliative care with their families.  They can anything from short breaks - allowing the family to relax and spend quality time together in a suitable environment - to end of life care.  CHAS also provides in home help and bereavement counselling as well as research projects into care for children with life-limiting conditions.
