Hemel Hempstead gym organises virtual fundraiser to raise hundreds for hospice

A gym in Hemel Hempstead raised over £500 for Peace Hospice Care when staff and members took part in a 24 hour Virtual Run/Ride/Walk.

Roberto Correa and Andreas Pavia, who run énergie Fitness Hemel Hempstead, in Marlowes, encouraged their members to get involved with the fundraiser on June 27, and help raise money for the hospice.

Peace Hospice Care, in Watford, provides free, specialist, care for patients, and their families, facing a life-limiting illness in South West Hertfordshire and the wider area.

Roberto said: "As a community oriented gym, we at énergie Fitness Hemel Hempstead endeavour to help our own friends/members as well as those in the community around us.

"One of our own works at the Peace Hospice Care, so we thought we'd do our best to try and support them.

"Your help will allow them to continue to provide the best services for those with life-limiting illnesses in our community, and to support their families and carers too.

"The Peace Hospice Care delivers free, specialist, services 365 days a year - that is only possible because of your support - thank you.

"They can only do this because of the support of people like you and we need your help, now more than ever in these unprecedented times.

"The Fundraiser was great, we've raised £514 in 24 hours for the Peace Hospice Care."
