Raising money for

Cornwall Hospice Care

Charity Registration No. 1113140

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.

My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

In September 2009 I will be cycling from London to Paris to raise money for Cornwall Hospice Care. It is a three day journey of 323k, I have never cycled so far in such a short time and am excited and scared in equal measures by the challenge. Originally I hoped to raise £1000 for the local hospices, people were so supportive I increased this to £2000 and now through everyones generosity I am aiming for £4000 which includes the cost of the trip. I am so grateful to everyone who has donated, thank you all so much but please help me get to my new target.

I have paid the costs of the trip myself so anything you feel able to give will go straight to the charity.

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

So please sponsor me now!
