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 approximately 72% of their required income of around £5.8million a year – this amounts to nearly £11,500 a day from voluntary donations.,p>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.

My story

I am undertaking the Clipper 09-10 Round the World Yacht Race with 9 other identical 68ft racing yachts leaving the UK on Sept 13th 2009 and returning after 35,000 miles in early July 2010. You can see more details at www.clipperroundtheworld.com. The picture on the left is my luxury accomodation for the next ten months! See the other photos of the yacht .The cost of the trip is being funded by myself so ALL donations to my Justgiving web page will go entirely to my chosen charity - the East Anglian Childrens 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!
