London to Paris Bike Ride 2013 · 3 July 2013

The Hospice helps people to live their precious lives well.Our care has many forms – at home, in our outpatient Spring Centre or through specialised care in one of our Hospice beds - and is defined by each person's need. We rely on donations to raise the £6m we need each year to fund our free care.

Story

From 3-6 July 2013 we put in the ride of our lives: 300 miles in 4 days from London to Paris to help The Hospice of St Francis continue its vital services to support patients and their families facing the crisis of life-limiting illness. Please dig deep for this exceptional cause as we hope to raise £5,000 for our ride.  

The Hospice must find £12,500 per day (£4.6m a year) to run its free services. Only 20% of its funding is from the government - the remainder comes from people like you, who care enough to make a donation so that this charity can keep on helping others in their hour of need.

The Hospice has significant national reach as an award-winning teaching hospice, providing & promoting excellent palliative care far beyond its walls. The Hospice Director is a Trustee of Help the Hospices, giving its work a national and international dimension.

An inspiring piece was filmed by ITV & can be seen here (you might even spot one of us in the footage!).
