Raising money for

East Anglia's Children's Hospices

Charity Registration No. 1069284

East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) has three children’s hospice care services based at Milton in Cambridge, Quidenham in Norfolk and Ipswich in Suffolk, which also serves North Essex. EACH is a registered charity that relies on public support for approximately 72% of their required income of around £5.8million a year – this amounts to nearly £11,500 a day from voluntary donations.,p>There are an estimated 23,500 children in the UK who are not expected to reach adulthood. Caring for a child or young person with a life-threatening illness, often for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, can put a huge strain on family life. Life can become governed by the timetable of nursing and medical needs. Careers may have to be put on hold, healthy brothers and sisters can feel left out and regular family activities and holidays can be rare. During all of this, families are going through a process of grieving.

EACH’s three multi-disciplinary care teams help local children with life-threatening conditions and complex healthcare needs, and their families with the emotional and physical challenges they face, helping them to make the most of life. They welcome the whole family for a short break together or time to themselves in a home-from-home environment or in the comfort of their own home.

My story

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: East Anglia's Children's Hospices 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.

Matthew Moxon and Robert Miller will be participating in the Norfolk Superhero Challenge this year in a foolhardy attempt to raise much needed funds for the East Anglia's Children's Hospices. There is a slight vested interest as Matthew's daughter Matilda benefits from the remarkable work that is done at the Hospices. The Hospices provide end of life and short break care for very sick children and their families, including pre and post bereavement support. The Government does provide some funding, but the bulk is made up from personal donations.

Robert and Matthew have been training tirelessly (actually sporadically) since January and have now reached the stage of fitness that one would expect from an asthmatic Walrus, but are determined to complete the gruelling course, that involves a 1 mile sea swim, a 5 mile kayak followed by a 40 mile bike ride and an 8 mile run across the Norfolk marshes. We very much hope that you will be able to support us in our endeavour to raise as much money as possible for this Magnificent organisation. Thank you.
