Raising money for

Butterwick Hospice Care

Charity Registration No. 1044816

Butterwick Hospice Care aims to improve the quality of life for those who have a progressive life limiting illness and those close to them. To offer positive support for every challenge they may encounter during their illness and to see death as part of life's journey. A life limiting illness changes everything, moves all the parameters in your life and the lives of those around you. Butterwick Hospice Care intends to be there for those in this situation and to listen, guide and support the patients and their family. Adult patients are cared for at facilities based in Stockton and Bishop Auckland. Butterwick House Children's Hospice, also located in Stockton, was the first of its kind in the North East and is still the only one accepting children from birth to 19 and providing end of life care. Admissions are made from Teesside, North Yorkshire, County Durham and Wearside.

My story

On Thursday 16th April 2009 five young men from Teesside will be cycling from the the Irish Sea to the North Sea over the course of three days.

After the success of last year’s West Highland Way Ramble (which raised over £3000 for Butterwick Hospice) Martin Lee, Peter Morron, Chris Abberton, Peter Lauwers & Craig Simpson have decided to continue the annual challenge and this year have got on their bikes to tackle the Coast to Coast ride from Whitehaven to Sunderland.

This will be a tough 135 miles with large climbs across the Pennines but will go some way to support the exceptional work performed by Butterwick Hospice, having cared for Martin’s grandfather, Eric Lee, in 2008.

Any donation to the group would be greatly appreciated and will assist an organisation which supports 200 patients and their families from across the North East everyday.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Butterwick Hospice Care 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.
