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

In October 2002 my daughter Laura gave birth to my grandson Tyler. He was starved of oxygen during his delivery and now has brain damage. He is at severe risk of dying from aspiration. Due to the love and care of his parents,Laura and Dave,he has so far survived. None of this would have possible without the care and support given to them by EACH at Ipswich.
You can make a difference to the children and families of this area by your kind donation.
This will be my 5th London Marathon. MY PB was 3hrs 40 mins in 1997. This year I hope to finish in about 4 hours. Try and spot me in the EACH running vest no. 16148. I feel it will all be worthwhile running for EACH.
Please sponsor me online, but please try to give generously!

Many thanks.
Dave
