About our charity : Cornwall Hospice Care 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 my fundraising page.

And my Charity Trek to Peru to raise funds for Cornwall Hospice Care.

Edna Howard has always been a part of my life right from day one you can say. She was my Nan and the person that was always ready with the facts and storys about mine and her lives. Like the time as i was growing up with my granddad and the mouse in the steering wheel of his VW Camper van. That was no more than just a squeak and a button that flew off from to time. 

The trek will will start on the 24th of may 2008 I will be trekking up to 8-9 hours each day over mountains and at an altitude of 4,445m or 14583ft. And temperatures can drop below -10 at night,mmmm why am i doing this again ??

Thank you to Ann's Cottage and Pathfinder Park Homes for their large sums of money donated to this fund so far. With out them all this would not be possible, but every penny counts so Please, Please, Please keep giving!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way yo donate: Cornwall Hospice Care will receive your money electronically and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in Gift Aid will be added to your donation at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support. Please keep up to date with my progress on the trek as i go at www.annscottagesurf.co.uk day by day communications permitting.

Like to say a big thank you to all the staff at Mount Edgcumbe Hospice for Careering and looking after my Nan during her stay there. The place is just a one off!!

Please donate generously..... Marcus
