I've been cajoled into another crazy fundraising idea. With 9 of my staff, all novice sailors, I'll be sailing in the Round the Island Race on Saturday 27 June. With 1,600 other boats taking part it is as much about staying upright as it is about finishing.  We are all raising funds for Keech Hospice, ensuring that our inpatient beds are available when families need them most. Over 70% of the funds needed to keep Keech open are from community donations like yours.
