Hospice of St Mary of Furness

Charity Registration No. 517738

St Mary’s is the dedicated provider in South Cumbria of comprehensive specialised supportive and palliative care for people with life-limiting conditions. Our facilities and services are available to all adults who are facing the end of life, and to their families, carers and the bereaved. Patients with life limiting illnesses are cared for at the hospice, as in-patients, or by attendance at day clinics or therapy sessions, and – increasingly – at home. We care for patients facing the end of life, regardless of diagnosis, and for those who love them. Our holistic programmes address the physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs of patients and carers. All St Mary’s care is provided free of charge, but it is not cost free. Just to maintain our current services costs around £2.2 million a year, of which we have to raise £1.8 million from our supporters.

My story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page

On 15th May 2009 I am taking part in 'A Walk to Remember' which is a sponsored 11km night time walk around Barrow-in-Furness, in aid of St Mary's Hospice, Ulverston.

St Mary's Hospice is an independent, charitable, voluntary body funded mainly by the generosity of the community for the community. The hospice provides specialised supportive and palliative care for people with life limiting conditions. All St Mary's care is provided free of charge, but it is not cost free. Just to maintain their current services costs around £2.2 million a year, of which they have to raise £1.8 million from their supporters.

In October 2007, my Dad spent the last week of his life at the hospice after losing his battle with cancer. I am doing the walk to remember my Dad (Gary Dodd) and thank the amazing team at St Mary's for all that they did for him and for the support and kindness that they gave to me and my family during the most difficult time of our lives. I will also be remembering my Nana during the walk who St Mary's also cared for when I was only 6.

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

So please sponsor me now and help me to raise money so that St Mary's can continue to carry out the wonderful work that they do.

Thank you
