Raising money for

East Anglia's Children's Hospices

Charity Registration No. 1069284

East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) has three children’s hospice care services based at Milton in Cambridge, Quidenham in Norfolk and Ipswich in Suffolk, which also serves North Essex. EACH is a registered charity that relies on public support for approximately 72% of their required income of around £5.8million a year – this amounts to nearly £11,500 a day from voluntary donations.,p>There are an estimated 23,500 children in the UK who are not expected to reach adulthood. Caring for a child or young person with a life-threatening illness, often for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, can put a huge strain on family life. Life can become governed by the timetable of nursing and medical needs. Careers may have to be put on hold, healthy brothers and sisters can feel left out and regular family activities and holidays can be rare. During all of this, families are going through a process of grieving.

EACH’s three multi-disciplinary care teams help local children with life-threatening conditions and complex healthcare needs, and their families with the emotional and physical challenges they face, helping them to make the most of life. They welcome the whole family for a short break together or time to themselves in a home-from-home environment or in the comfort of their own home.

My story

On the 19th April Ian, Paul and David Howe will be biking a distance of 996 miles over a period of 16 days. We will be starting from Lands End and finishing at John O'Groats averaging a daily distance of 62.25 miles!

As we are biking for two charities, we am unable to do this on just one page, so if you were to sponsor me, please could you split the amount that you will sponsor me between the charities, unless you personally have a preference over one of the charities.

Here is the other web site...

http://www.justgiving.com/996_miles_north_ms

You can find out some more information on the charities on the web pages along with a stupid picture of us both to laugh at whilst you are parting with your cash!

Anything that you can spare would really be appreciated, and it will make biking the distance a lot easier knowing that we will be raising money for two worthwhile charities!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: MS Society will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Thanks for your time and support,

Paul and Ian Howe
