Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

I've known about justgiving through my cousin's fundraising for the hospice where my Aunt Janice passed away from Cancer at the beginning of March 2007.

However, I've once again come across the site through visiting a stop smoking website.

I quit smoking on 12.06.2007 - I had smoked for 16 years and had attempted to quit on a number of occasions, without much success.  However there have been a couple of developments to me stoping this time, for one I am doing it properly now!! Under a smoking a cessation clinic and i'm also administering a number of different replacement therapies!!  But I thought that setting up a donation page is a brilliant idea, as it enforces my restraint, and by donating the money to The Wisdom hospice it will be greatly appreciated, so I know by quitting smoking it will at least do some good.  And this is something I intend to stick to.

Quitting smoking is no bag of laughs (if you have ever smoked you know how hard it is to quit!) But this small amount of pain is nothing compared to people with life threatening / terminal illnesses.

So, thanks for reading this and if you do decide to make a donation I'm forever in debt to you and Aunty Jan would be glad I've quit i'm sure!!!

Oh I forgot.... If I fail this, I have to match the donations and also repay everyone who kindly made a donation.

Don't worry, I will be totally 100% honest, If I do fail I will let you know!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to donate: The Friends of The Wisdom Hospice will receive your money electronically and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in Gift Aid will be added to your donation at no cost to you.

Please donate generously.

Many thanks for your support.

Matt
