Story

<p>Thank you&nbsp;for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>As some of you may know my beautiful Mum (Gloria) was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at the end of March this year, and sadly died just 6 weeks later.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>My family and I will be taking part in a 10mile 'Midnight Walk' on Saturday 16/07/2011, in memory of my Mum and in aid of Wakefield Hospice.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Wakefield Hospice is a charity that was very close to my Mum's heart and she raised money for them for many years before she died.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Mum&nbsp;was lucky enough to be looked after by the lovely nurses there for the last 36 hours of her life, and so we would like to raise as much money as possible, in order to enable other&nbsp;sufferers and their families to receive the high levels of care, compassion and kindness that we all did during that exceedingly difficult time.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&pound;50 pays for 2.5 hours of nursing care and every penny counts, so please dig deep and help me to contribute towards the hospice's event target of &pound;25,000.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you all in advance.</p>
