Raising money for

Cornwall Hospice Care

Charity Registration No. 1113140

Cornwall Hospice Care provides care and support throughout Cornwall, for people living with life-threatening illnesses, their families and carers, not only in our two hospices - St Julia’s in Hayle and Mt Edgcumbe in St Austell - but also in outreach centres across the county. Last year, nearly 500 people benefited from over 7,400 bed days, receiving treatment to alleviate pain and control symptoms. The care given to patients and their families is provided free of charge, but costs us over £5 million annually (£10 a minute). Only 13% of this is funded by the government which means that we rely heavily on the generous support of the general public, donations, challenges and fundraising events. All the money we raise stays in Cornwall.

My story

As many of you will know, my father passed away recently after a two-year battle with cancer. During his final weeks he was cared for at Cornwall Hospice Care in St Austell. This was a difficult time for him and for the family but, throughout, the Hospice staff were helpful and sensitive to his, and our, needs; and provided him with genuinely first-class medical care.

Cornwall Hospice Care operates over two sites and its services are completely free of charge - something we were hugely grateful for and which I found frankly amazing. It is a charity and receives only 13% of its £5.3m a year costs from NHS funding. It costs £10 per minute to provide the care it does to its patients. I feel a real sense of obligation to CHC after everything they did for my father and for us and I'm delighted to have the opportunity to give something back through sponsorship for this ride.

I'll be cycling from London to Paris over 3 days (I might use a ferry for the wet part) - some 250 miles. Expect to see me training: cycling through a town near you!

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

So please sponsor me now!
