Katharine House Hospice - Stafford

Charity Registration No. 1011712

Katharine House Hospice provides free care services for local people faced with an illness that cannot be cured. Our aim is to enable our patients and those close to them to live as fully as possible. We do this by addressing all aspects of the illness, not just the physical ones. All our patients are unique and we help them to feel treated like an individual and not an illness. We rely heavily on donations to raise the £1.72 million needed to run the hospice each year.

My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Katharine House Hospice - Stafford 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!

In the summer of 2008, my Mum went into Katherine House Hospice, Stafford after a 3 year battle with cancer. She stayed in the Hospice for just over 2 weeks and received excellent treatment in her last days. However, this care does not come cheap and the Hospice needs donations to keep ensuring the high level of care is maintained.

I came up with the idea of riding from Lands End to John O'Groats in the Autumn of 2008 and quickly formed a group of interested riders. Now that the summer is rapidly approaching, it is time to start getting our message out there and start asking for donations.

Anything you can give will make a difference and help people receive the best treatment possible.

THE RIDE HAS BEEN COMPLETED! IT TOOK ME 11 DAYS OF PEDALLING BUT I GOT THERE!

Unfortunately, due to injuries and other circumstances, the other 3 were unable to make the ride so I completed it by myself.
