Across Leicestershire and Rutland, almost everyone has been touched in some way by the incredible care and compassion provided by LOROS Hospice — whether personally, through a family member, friend, neighbour, or colleague. The work LOROS carries out reaches deep into the community, supporting families through some of life’s most difficult moments with dignity, kindness, and unwavering care. For Beacon Race Events, the connection to LOROS is especially personal through the support given to Ady Hall during his final days battling Motor Neurone Disease (MND). Ady was a genuinely lovely man — a skilled carpenter, devoted husband, and proud father — whose warmth and character left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him. After being diagnosed with MND in 2024, a progressive neurological condition that affects the brain and nerves, gradually causing muscles to weaken and wasting away over time, Ady faced an incredibly difficult journey with immense courage. In his final days, LOROS provided specialist palliative care focused on comfort, pain management, emotional support, and dignity, not only for Ady himself but also for those closest to him. Their care helps families spend precious time together with compassion and support when it matters most. Charities like LOROS rely heavily on donations, fundraising events, and community support to continue providing these vital services free of charge. Every fundraiser, donation, and event helps ensure that families across the region can continue receiving the exceptional care, comfort, and humanity that makes LOROS such an essential part of the local community.
