My story

Send Mark up the Mountain!

I have been chosen to trek to Mount Everest Base Camp, as one of a team of 25 from Gala Coral Group that are aiming to raise £100,000 for Sue Ryder Care!

So now I need your help!!!!

I will do (almost) anything in return for a donation! I'll eat Yak testicles, I'll wrestle a Yeti, whatever it takes for you to donate! So please please please, give whatever you can to help me meet my fundraising target!

Highlights so far have been running (well, walking really) the Leicester Run Run dressed as an old aged pensioner and taking my kit off for a Charity Calendar!

Sue Ryder Care help people living with conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease, Stroke, Motor Neurone Disease and Cancer. They provide rehabilitation, day care, respite care, home care and long term residential care. They also provide support to their families. I'm sure you all know someone, or a friend knows someone that has suffered from one of these conditions, and Sue Ryder Care may well have helped them.

Here's how your money could help:

£7.50 pays for a stress-relieving complementary therapy session for someone with cancer

£15 provides a half hour physiotherapy session for someone with multiple sclerosis to help increase their mobility

£50 pays for a programme of bereavement sessions to help people cope with loss

£300 covers the daily cost of running a hospice bed

£500 pays for 24 hour expert nursing at one of Sue Ryder Cares long-term neurological care centres

£750 pays for equipment to help someone with cancer manage their pain

£1,500 covers the weekly cost of running a clinic at a Sue Ryder Care hospice to relieve the symptoms of lymphoedema - a painful side effect of cancer treatments

Just imagine how much we could help if we raised £6,000!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Sue Ryder Care 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.

Thank you for your support
