<p>Hello,</p> <p>My name is Steve and I'll be representing The Student Support Centre (Cheshire) in my first ever 4km charity dash for two very worthy local causes: Hospice Of The Good Shepherd and Countess of Chester Hospital.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>When?</strong></span></p> <p>Sunday 11th December 2011 at 9:30am</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Why?</span></strong></p> <p>The money that I raise will help towards the 'REFLECT' Children's Bereavement Service that the Hospice of the Good Shepherd provides free of charge to children from the ages of 3 to 19 years from Chester, rural Cheshire, Deeside and Ellesmere Port. The Hospice relies almost entirely on the generousity of the community so I'm doing my bit to help!</p> <p>I'm also raising funds for the Countess of Chester Hospital. The Children's Unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital is a 26 bedded area and they presently have six chair beds which parents can use to sit by their child's bedside during the daytime and then convert to a bed at night. The funds received from Santa's dash will help them buy more beds! Each bed can cost around &pound;630 and will provide a much more comfortable overnight stay for parents with a sick child.</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
