We care for patients and their families to to support them during their illness
Story
On the 13th February 2012, Robert Riley will live on the streets on London, England until the 17th February, thats 4 nights and 5 days.
Its all in aid of East Lancashire Hospice, where Robert's Mum Eileen Riley spent her final days before she died of Cancer there on 15th February 2010.
Eileen was a Charity worker herself, she worked voluntary for St Johns Ambulance for over 15 years. On 15th February 2012, it will be the 2 year anniversary of Eileen's death, who died at the young age of just 49.
East Lancashire Hospice is a registered charity which provides specialist palliative care to patients coping with life limiting illnesses from Blackburn Darwen Hyndburn & Ribble Valley.
For 4 nights and 5 days, Robert will sleep on the streets on London and work in homeless shelters throughout the day to earn food and drink. He will have no Money, no Phone, no Contact with home or any other special privileges in any way shape or form. This is a dangerous and selfless thing Robert is going to do, but this is all in aid of a great cause.
There will be a video blog going up on this page where you can see his progress throughout the week.
There will be a link here soon where you can donate as little as just £1 to and show your support to Robert.
East Lancashire Hospice provides specialist, supportive and end of life care for patients and their families from Blackburn, Darwen, Hyndburn and Ribble Valley who are coping with a life-limiting illness.
To enable us to continue this work, we need to raise £4 million every year.
