Raising money for

Children's Hospice South West

Charity Registration No. 1003314

At Children’s Hospice South West we help and support children and their families who are living with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions and we are the only organisation in the South West to provide vital hospice care to these families. Some families come to us for palliative care, some for emergency care and many for planned respite and a rare opportunity for a break away. But there’s more to it than that. We provide a loving and caring place for every member of the families who stay with us. A place where everyone can begin to forget their worries for a while, be a family again and find expert help and support in facing an uncertain future.

Our services are free to the families who need us because we believe that nothing should get in the way of very sick children receiving the very best care. So, with little government funding, we rely on the generosity of our supporters to deliver our promise to ‘make the most of short and precious lives’.

Children’s Hospice South West has two purpose-built hospices in the South West. Little Bridge House in North Devon and Charlton Farm in North Somerset. A third special home from home for life-limited children in Cornwall and Plymouth, is due to open in 2011 called Little Harbour.

My story

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!
