Hospice care eases the physical and emotional pain of death and dying. Letting people focus on living, right until the end. But too many people miss out on this essential care. Hospice UK fights for hospice care for all who need it, for now and forever.

Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit the Austin Garages goes Rallying page and helping to raise some money for a worthwhile cause.

Following on from the shining example set by some of our customers last year who successfully completed Staples2Naples Austin Garages is going to Rome! Under the auspices of the famous Street Safari team and along with a few others who are just as daft as us we are hoping to complete Home2Rome or actually Calais to  Rome in 4 days  ... in a 'banger' .... and in July!

In doing so we hope to raise some serious money for our chosen charity Help the Hospices. Our choice was inspired by listening to the experiences of a couple of our customers who have recently lost loved ones in less than ideal circumstances and our own personal experiences of family members and friends with lifelong debilitating illnesses who have had the benefit of care from the Hospice movement, be it in a Hospice itself or from the Hospice at Home teams. Care of this kind for everyone should be a right not a privilege and we would all like to think if the time came it would be available to us too.

Help us to help make this happen by .........
