Raising money for

East Anglia's Children's Hospices

Charity Registration No. 1069284

East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) has three children’s hospice care services based at Milton in Cambridge, Quidenham in Norfolk and Ipswich in Suffolk, which also serves North Essex. EACH is a registered charity that relies on public support for approximately 72% of their required income of around £5.8million a year – this amounts to nearly £11,500 a day from voluntary donations.,p>There are an estimated 23,500 children in the UK who are not expected to reach adulthood. Caring for a child or young person with a life-threatening illness, often for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, can put a huge strain on family life. Life can become governed by the timetable of nursing and medical needs. Careers may have to be put on hold, healthy brothers and sisters can feel left out and regular family activities and holidays can be rare. During all of this, families are going through a process of grieving.

EACH’s three multi-disciplinary care teams help local children with life-threatening conditions and complex healthcare needs, and their families with the emotional and physical challenges they face, helping them to make the most of life. They welcome the whole family for a short break together or time to themselves in a home-from-home environment or in the comfort of their own home.

My story

During August I will be undertaking a thousand-mile cycle marathon from Easton College in Norfolk to Benesov College in the Czech Republic and it will have a window of 3 weeks in which to complete.

Quidenham Hospice is local to me and needs money more now than ever before due to funding difficulties, which is why I have decided to raise money for it. I have children myself and know how important it would be to me if they fell ill; I would want all the resources needed to cure them or make their lives better in any way. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: East Anglia's Children's Hospices will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

I have a volunteer support team and several generous sponsors so all money donated on this web page will go to East Anglia's Children's Hospices (EACH). The fundraising target above is a very rough estimate but I would love it if the end total is nearer to £10,000 as the money will be well utilised and there is a lot of time and effort going into organising the trip.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Many thanks for your support,

Charlie Askew
