No parent expects to live longer than their child, but for many of the families we support, this is a reality. Julia's House, the Dorset & Wiltshire Children's Hospice charity provides frequent respite care for children and support for their families at home, in the community and at our hospice.

Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Myself and four team mates are cycling from Lands End to John O Groats at the beginning of May.&nbsp; What was initially a random 'what can I do to mark my fortieth birthday?' conversation in the pub has turned into a mammoth training and logistical exercise in trying to get&nbsp;our backsides from one end of the country to the other!</p> <p>To make this event count, my mate Trevor Witcher and I are riding on behalf of Julia's House Charity: This Charity provides a caring home and respite centre&nbsp;for life limited and life threatened children and their parents in Dorset (Check out their website for details).</p> <p>Julia's House is Dorset's only hospice dedicated to children with life-limiting conditions. The majority of the children&nbsp;they care for are unlikely to live beyond the age of 18.</p> <p>If you can donate a few&nbsp;quid for&nbsp;this well worthy cause, your money will go&nbsp;to help&nbsp;Julia's House provide the dedicated care and support to the kids and their families.&nbsp;Any donation is very welcome,&nbsp;I would be very grateful&nbsp;if you can support&nbsp;us&nbsp;for the trip.</p> <p>Cheers</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Mark</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
