We are lucky to have the McClure Miller Respite House residential hospice facility nearby. You may never think about it, but when someone needs it, it is a safe and comfortable place to be. Respite House (when it was located in Williston) helped me and my first husband Glenn. He had a brain tumor and received excellent care for over 2 years. The amazing people there make sure each resident gets respectful, individual attention, such as special meals, and space for family visits. Residents may even keep their cat in their room.

The biggest fundraiser for the McClure Miller Respite House is the Jiggety Jog, 5K run and 3K walk, happening this year on June 10th in Colchester. I have been doing this for the past 11 years because I know how important it is to have this for anyone who needs it, regardless of ability to pay.
