Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Bedford to Brussels · 25 March 2013

Our vision is that local patients with cancer and other life-limiting illness can choose how and where they want to be cared for towards the end of life. We provide 24/7 responsive Hospice at Home care; Day Hospice care and support for all the family during the illness and through bereavement.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am cycling from Bedford to Brussels on 21st August for four days. The trip will take me 306 miles to complete! I am doing the bike ride as part of the group and want to raise the most money. Half of the money will be donated to the Grove House Hospice in St Albans and the other half to The Matt Hampson Foundation.

 

The Grove House Hospice

The Every week Grove House offers over 150 treatments and consultations to patients, their families and carers at Grove House or at home. All services are free of charge. Each patient's care is tailored to his/her own needs, for example pain reduction/symptom control from the specialist nurses, help with mobility from the physiotherapist or occupational therapist, or spiritual or emotional support and counselling from the spiritual care and family support team. We also provide respite support and counselling for carers who can become overwhelmed or exhausted and rarely receive any support themselves. Above all Grove House is about valuing life.

 

The Matt Hampson Foundation

Our aim is to provide advice, support, relief and/or treatment for anyone suffering serious injury or disability which has arisen from any cause, but in particular from participation in or training for any sport, sporting activity or other form of physical education or recreation. We mainly assist people who have received such injuries in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland but that does not preclude us from helping those in other parts of the World who need urgent assistance.
