Villa Maria Staff Step Up to Run For a Reason

Mercy Health’s care staff at not-for-profit aged care home Villa Maria in Lesmurdie pounded the pavement last weekend when they took part in HBF’s Run for a Reason on Sunday 28 May.

Over half a dozen of the organisation’s nurses, carers and, kitchen staff trained for the big day, in a bid to raise money for Alzheimer’s Australia WA. 

Villa Maria Service Manager, John Herbert, said everyone at the aged care home got behind the training program that was implemented by the staff involved.

“Our residents are so supportive of the challenge that our team set, there is a great sense of camaraderie here and everyone was pretty excited about the event,” he says.

“The fact that the team was fundraising for Alzheimer’s Australia WA has really encouraged everyone involved, it’s a cause that is very close to the heart of many seniors here at Villa Maria.”
