My story

On Monday 28th May a team, led by James Sutherland, MD of Dortech, will be attempting to cycle from Lands' End to John O'Groats to raise much needed funds for The Forget Me Not Children's Hospice.

The team will include: Andy Bell, Craig Turner and Richard Rae.

The Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice supports children with life limiting conditions and their families. The charity began more than 12 years ago as a result of the challenges of a local mum whose son, Russell, became very ill and needed hospice care. She was concerned at the lack of local support, and set about changing this.

12 years on The Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice is now a reality. In October 2010 the charity began supporting children and families through its hospice at home service. To date they have received more than 50 referrals, and are already helping 30 children and their families, with more coming to us every week. At the same time completing the construction of a brand new purpose-built children’s hospice in Huddersfield.

The care provided by a children’s hospice is quite unique. All of the children Forget Me Not help will have conditions which will, sadly, significantly shorten their lives. However we may support children and their families for many years, possibly until the child is a teenager or even a young adult.

Understandably, as a team, we want to raise as much as possible for this incredible cause.

Remember: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never share them with anyone or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 28%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer, too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with JustGiving.

So please dig deep and donate now.
