Sue Ryder is here to make sure everyone approaching the end of their life or living with grief can get the support they need. There is no one size fits all when it comes to how we cope and the help we need, but with our support, no one has to face dying or grief alone. We are there when it matters.

Story

Hello friends, family and aquaintances.....

Me and five of my finest friends are attempting to cross the English Channel in our inflatable boats this May.  We are doing this because it sounds difficult and ridiculous and we thought this would mean people would donate more money to this excellent cause.

 

If you've not heard why we are doing this, here's the situation:

One of our closest friends, Lucy, was recently been told, at 32yrs of age, that her cancer was not curable.  This is after spending most of last year having intensive treatment.  She has had awful luck, was phenomenal at making the best of things - indeed simply inspiring - and sadly she died on 17th April.

Lucy was extremely grateful for the support offered by the Manorlands Hospice, which operates through the support it gets from the Sue Ryder charity.  We would be immensly grateful if you could dig deep to help us support this great organisation. 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my Just Giving page
