Weldmar Hospicecare needs to raise £26,000 a day to continue the specialist end of life care we provide in Dorset, both in the comfort of patient's own homes and at our IPU in Dorchester. 20% of our costs are met by the NHS, the rest comes from the generosity of our local community.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 9 September 2011 my Mum died from secondary tumours following an intial diagnosis of Breast Cancer 8 years ago.

In the weeks leading up to her death my sisters and I spent some time together in hospital and it was during what I thought was a casual chat that the three sisters, three challenges plan was hatched.

We wanted to do something to remember my mum and to thank all the charities which do such great work in the prevention, treatment and support of my Mum and other cancer patients.

I have decided to support a local charity the Weldmar Hospice who's staff both my mum and us with such good support in her last few days. To raise money I will be doing the Three Peaks Challenge which involves climbing Ben Nevis, Scarfell Pike and Snowdon all within 24 hours. Kim will be running the London Marathon for MacMillan Cancer Support and Sarah will be swimming the channel for Breakthrough Breastcancer.

We hope that you'll support us to help us achieve our challenges and raise lots of money for some great charities
