The Herald has set out to celebrate Phyllis Tuckwell's 40th anniversary by raising £100 for every year that Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice has provided its outstanding supportive and end-of-life care for patients living with an advanced or terminal illness, such as cancer, and their families.

Over the course of Phyllis Tuckwell's 40th anniversary year, the Herald team will be taking on a number of challenges and activities - from abseils of Spinnaker Tower to sky-dives, to raise as much cash for the hospice as possible.

Every day the hospice care charity supports more than 250 patients, relatives and carers - in their own homes, in the community, at the hospice in Farnham and at the Beacon Centre in Guildford – but as the NHS/Government only covers 20 per cent of its costs, it has to raise over £20,000 a day to do this.

Your donations are very gratefully received.
