Raising money for

St Luke's Hospice Plymouth

Charity Registration No. 280681

When faced with the reality of coping with life-limiting illness, we believe that all patients should be entitled to the very best care available. St Luke´s has been providing specialist palliative medical and nursing care, free of charge, to patients from Plymouth, South West Devon and East Cornwall for more than twenty-five years.

A registered charity, we are passionate about offering our patients dignity and choice at a time in their lives when they may feel they have none. Our vision is to provide the best end of life care to all patients wherever their `preferred place of care´ might be - Hospice, Hospital or Home.

The St Luke´s network of care stretches far beyond the walls of the Hospice inpatient unit at Turnchapel, Plymouth reaching out to more than 2,000 patients each year. Alongside the specialist medical and nursing care, patients are also offered practical, financial, emotional and spiritual support.

Government funding covers less than 30% of the cost of caring for inpatients. We therefore have to raise at least £3.5 million from the local community every year so the fundraising never stops! That is why your donation and support is so important.

Team 3 is - Abbi Briscoe, Hannah Blore, Steve Jones and Karl Avery. The challenge that we face is a walk of 14km (including a height gain of 1056m), a canoe of 11km and a bike ride of 30km (including a height gain of 500m).

The Team Members for the Super Tough Challenge are - Ray Hanly, Martin Benefer, Tony Lewis and Ian Rooke. The challenge that we face is a walk of 20km (including height gain of 1300m), a canoe of 13.5km and a bike ride of 35km (including height gain of 500m)
