About our charity : Children's Hospice South West Children's Hospice South West
Children's Hospice South West first welcomed families in 1995 to Little Bridge House, North Devon, and opened a second hospice, Charlton Farm near Bristol in April 2007. This instantly doubled its capacity from 200 to 400 families each year. Children's Hospice South West operate the only two children's hospices in the South West; they offer respite, relaxation, friendship and a sense of community. The hospice also shares the 24-hour care of sick children and supports families in bereavement.

Our personal message:

Thank you for taking the time to visit our fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor us online. For further information about our trip please visit our website www.launceston-lagos.com

On the 5th of June, we are going to cycle from Launceston in Cornwall to Lagos in the southwestern tip of Portugal. We will cover the length of France and Spain before crossing Portugal, and have to make it over the Pyrenees in the process. We are aiming to complete the trip in just 19 days. Our total distance will be some 1300 miles (if we don't get lost along the way!).

Rob Hall and Sam Morton have kindly offered their time to travel with us as a support crew, who will drive by car and meet us at various points each day.

Children's Hospice South West accepts children and families from South Gloucester, Bristol, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall. All the children who use the Hospice will have Life Limiting, or Life Threatening Conditions, which mean that they are not expected to live into adulthood. Some families may use the hospice for many years, from the time the child is first diagnosed, they may come for planned respite, or for emergency care, depending on their needs and the support that the family request.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Children's Hospice South West 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.

So please take just a couple of minutes to sponsor us, and make it all worthwhile!
