Trek Escambray, Cuba for EACH · 25 March 2011

We care for children & young people with life-threatening conditions across Cambs, Essex, Norfolk & Suffolk and support their families. This can be at home, in hospital or at one of three hospices at Milton, The Treehouse and The Nook. We rely on voluntary donations for the majority of our income.

Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I will be travelling to Cuba in&nbsp;November 2011 to take part in a charity trek of the beautiful Escambray Mountains.</p> <p>Walking over 5 days and for a total of 35 hours, we will travel from Havana to Trinidad - all to raise money for my chosen charity EACH (East Anglian Children's Hospices)</p> <p>There are many causes in our community that need help, especially EACH, which provides a vital service to ill children and their families.</p> <p>* Just &pound;18 raised, will fund a nursing care kit, to help a nurse support and care for a child in its own home.</p> <p>* &pound;90 could fund a 3 hour Family Support session for a childs family pre or post bereavement.</p> <p>* &pound;216 could fund a 6 hour session of palliative care for a life limited child, providing expert nursing care in their own home.</p> <p>* and &pound;328 could fund an inhouse Day Care session in one of EACH's fantastic hospices.</p> <p>I would love to raise &pound;4000 to help EACH&nbsp;carry on its important work. I really enjoy raising money for charity and I am so grateful to everyone who has supported my efforts so far. I do hope you will sponsor me for my new challenge.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
