Raising money for

St Cuthbert's Hospice

Charity Registration No. 519767

St Cuthbert's Hospice has provided care and support to the people of Durham and Chester le Street who suffer from life limiting conditions, as well as their families and carers, for 21 years.

One in three people will be affected by a Hospice in some way, so the work we do affects all corners of the community. Our philosophy at St Cuthbert's Hospice is to help local people with life limiting illnesses experience greater quality of life, allowing them to make the most of each day. St Cuthbert's Hospice helps around 80 local families each month, and for these people, the Hospice is a source of comfort, reassurance and strength.

Whether this is by providing pain relief and symptom management, or by offering a peaceful place to stay and a range of activities, the emphasis at St. Cuthbert's is on empowerment and making every day count. We operate a Day Hospice, a ten-bed In Patient Unit and a range of therapies and treatments.

As a registered charity, we make no charge for our services and rely on the support of the local community to raise the further £1 million each year that is needed to continue to provide our special kind of care.

In September 2006 we opened the new 10 bedded In-Patient Unit, which is able to offer care 24 hours a day. This care includes symptom management, short term planned admission and rehabilitation, and End of Life Care.

My story

Hello and thankyou for taking the time to visit the DUSC charity fundraising page.

Two Durham University Swim Team members, Tom Kirk (St Cuthberts) and Matt Seegelaar (Hild Bede) are undertaking the 2006 UK Ironman Triathlon, one of the most gruelling endurance tests around, in order to raise money for St Cuthberts Hospice, in close partnership with DUCK.

The Ironman Triathlon involves a continuous 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride, and 26.2 mile run, taking place on August 20th. Our involvement in this contest could not have been made possible without the close support of Durham Univerisity Charities Kommittee who have kindly agreed to help us financially.

This page is to appeal to you to give generously to a very deserving charity (please see the link to find out more) through DUCK. Both of the competitors are going to great lengths to raise money and we hope that you feel the efforts are worthy of your valuable donations.

Thankyou very much for your generousity

Many thanks for your support.

Tom Kirk, Matt Seegelaar & DUSC
