When life's most difficult days are upon us as our loved ones face the end of life, there is an organization filled with loving professionals who step in to help provide us with the answers to our most painful questions, comfort for those we love, and a sense of peace for what is to come.

The National Hospice Foundation supports these efforts throughout the country and now we are running the Bourbon Chase Relay race, this October, to help support its mission. This organization has touched each of us personally and we are blessed to have an opportunity to make our miles count. We would be honored by your generous support.

We're hitting the ROAD this fall and your support will encourage us every step of the way.

The National Hospice Foundation will use your generous support for public education about hospice care, leadership development to make sure local hospices have strong and experienced leadership, and public policy research.

You may contribute right from this page and charge your donation on your credit card. You will receive an immediate receipt for your tax records. As well, you will receive a letter from the national Hospice Foundation.

If you prefer not to donate online, you may send a check to the National Hospice Foundation, Dept. 6058, Washington, DC 20042-6058. If you send a check, be sure to code it on the front: RTR/Lucy Wathen’s team
