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 the majority of it's income. 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. They offer a diverse range of supportive care including: short break care, specialist play, music therapy, care at end of life, telephone support, practical help and bereavement support for all family members, including siblings and grandparents.

My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

In October 2009 I will be shipping an ex-Nato ambulance to Argentina. The aim is to travel through all 13 countries in the continent of South America. We are looking for both corporate and personal sponsorships. We are happy to put sponsors logos on the sides of the vehicle - please contact us to discuss this option.

Just to clarify... the trip expenses, vehicle, shipping, flights, food and fuel are being paid by Saracen UK Ltd - any money that you donate will go 100% to the hospice.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: East Anglia's Children's Hospices gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
