Shark food... · 18 September 2009

Community Hospice provides free end of life care to anyone living with a terminal illness in Greenwich and Bexley, supporting around 3,000 people each year. Our goal is to help everyone we care for to approach death in the way that suits their values, beliefs and lifestyle.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Not sure how I got roped into this experience I was only making enquiries for Sue who is a qualified PADI diver! 

For those that know me I only get into deep water when it's steaming, so a close encounter with sharks and other marine creatures is totally alien to me...I must remain calm and remember to breathe!! 

"I might have my PADI qualification and quite used to dealing with sharks within the course of my work, but not usually ones in water with such sharp teeth!!"

We must remind the family we have death in service benefit if the worse happens!!!

There is a reason behind our madness, the Greenwich & Bexley Cottage Hospice, who cares for the residents of Greenwich & Bexley suffering with a life threatening illness, a charity we have supported for the past three years.  The Hospice has to raise over £3 million a year from the community in order to continue and maintain the high level of care and quality services they provide.
