Raising money for

St Ann's Hospice

Charity Registration No. 258085

St Ann’s Hospice is here to help and support people through one of the most difficult times of their lives.

Hospice care is based on the simple idea that a person who has a life-threatening illness or is dying is still very much a living person, with unique physical, emotional, social & spiritual needs. At St Ann’s Hospice, our aim is to help people maintain their dignity and maximise their quality of life. We’re not just focused on our patients either: we recognise that it’s also a difficult time for relatives, carers and friends & that they may need support too.

All of the services provided by the hospice are free of charge and around two thirds of our funding comes from donations and fundraising events – that means we have to raise £16,000 a day to provide our services.

My story

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.

Mark, Rob and I are going to run the Paris Marathon in memory of our Dad (John Spavin), on the 5th of April 2009.

He would probably think we are nuts running this - but he did a few crazy things in his time! So cheers Dad and here's to all three of us crossing the finish line together after 26 miles!

We are raising money for St Ann's Hospice who were a tremendous help to us all throughout a very difficult time. The work they do is amazing. They rely a lot on charity donations - they require £16,000 per day just to keep open!

Please dig deep for this wonderful cause.

Thanks a lot - Carl, Mark and Rob

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: St Ann's Hospice gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thank you for your support.
