Sponsored Tandem Skydive for Willen Hospice · 8 May 2010

We support the growing number of people in and around Milton Keynes affected by a life-limiting illness. We give our patients and their loved ones specialist, personalised care - free of charge. Only 13.8% of our costs are met by ongoing NHS funding, so we’re dependent on your support. Thank you.

Story

*DUE TO POOR WEATER CONDITIONS.....NOW RESCHEDULED TO 22ND MAY 2010*

I am taking this opportunity to jump out of a perfectly working aeroplace in order to give something back to the wonderful Willen Hospice.  They made my uncle Golly's last days as comfortable as possible as he fought and lost his battle with cancer. 

 

Until Golly was at the Hospice, I never realised that they depended so heavily on fundraising efforts to continue to offer such a wonderful service to those individuals and families during such difficult times.  With only 25% of funding from the local PCT they have a large job on their hands in raising the remaining 75%, so please dig deep and sponsor me as much as you can, so that we can keep such a wonderful place alive.

 

Willen Hospice offers specialist physical, emotional, spiritual and practical support to people with life limiting conditions, at differing stages of the illness.  The personal circumstances, beliefs, dignity, choices, needs and privacy of patients will be respected.  The service is offered to people in the community and in the hospice by a multi-disciplinary team of staff and volunteers.  Support is also offered to families, friends and carers.  The hospice is committed to continuously reviewing and improving its services.
