About our charity
:
Cornwall Hospice Care
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.

| Our personal message: |
Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. During the last 2 weeks of May (2008) the "Cornish sisters" will be cycling from John O'Groats to Lands End, aiming to arrive at Lands End on 1 June. We will be cycling about 940 miles in all (more if we get lost!), averaging about 70 miles per day. We would both be really grateful if you would sponsor us.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Cornwall Hospice Care will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
Many thanks for your support. Julie and Kath
