Raising money for

St Ann's Hospice

Charity Registration No. 258085

St Ann’s Hospice is here to help and support people through one of the most difficult times of their lives.

Hospice care is based on the simple idea that a person who has a life-threatening illness or is dying is still very much a living person, with unique physical, emotional, social & spiritual needs. At St Ann’s Hospice, our aim is to help people maintain their dignity and maximise their quality of life. We’re not just focused on our patients either: we recognise that it’s also a difficult time for relatives, carers and friends & that they may need support too.

All of the services provided by the hospice are free of charge and around two thirds of our funding comes from donations and fundraising events – that means we have to raise £16,000 a day to provide our services.

My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For all of you who knew my mum you will know how much her family meant to her and how much she meant to us. When she first became ill she told us she would be going to St Ann’s Hospice. She used her confidence in St Ann’s Hospice as a way of comforting us. I think she was looking forward to going there as she knew she would be well looked after and that her family would be supported. St Ann’s helped us all through a very difficult time for which we are all eternally grateful. I would like your help in ensuring St Ann’s can help other people like my mum. St Ann’s relies heavily on donations. They need to raise £16,000 every day. Any money we can donate will go to providing vital support for patients, their families and friends.

On the 30^th July I will be racing in the Alpe D’Huez Triathlon in memory of my mum. The Alpe D’Huez is the most iconic mountain climb in the Tour De France. The cycle route consists of 21 switchbacks covering a distance of 30km and an elevation of 3,350 feet. (see one of the pictures above) The triathlon also includes a 1200m swim across the lake at the base of the mountain as a warm up and finishes you off with a 7km run to the summit.

I have booked the race independently so all the money raised will go to St Ann’s Hospice.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’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’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thanks Phil
