Jan Van-Der-Kwast is raising money for Farleigh Hospice
In memory of Yvonne Van-Der-Kwast
Donations cannot currently be made to this page
Farleigh Hospice provides hospice care & support to people affected by life-limiting illnesses. With approximately 40% of our annual running costs funded by the local NHS, we rely on the goodwill of the local mid Essex community to contribute to the £21,271 it costs to provide our services each day.

Story

<p>As you know my dear wife <strong>'Yvonne'</strong> died after a long battle with&nbsp;Cancer on 1st April 2010 and during her last few weeks she was cared for in the nearby <strong>Farleigh Hospice</strong>.</p> <p>It was her wish to be there and it allowed such a beautiful lady, who had maintained her dignity all through her illness, to be much more comfortable than we could ever have made her at home.</p> <p>It costs <strong>&pound;7000 </strong>per day to run this hospice, so I have decided to challenge myself by completing the&nbsp;<strong>Trek for&nbsp; Life to Peru</strong>&nbsp;<strong>2011 </strong>(the Inca Trail)&nbsp;during May and with your help I am trying to raise&nbsp;this amount.&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe &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>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
