My story

 

Hi all,

Thank you for visiting this fundraising page.  Massive thanks also to those of you who have already donated - I'm overwhelmed.

As most of you know, I occasionally decide to enter the odd half-marathon or even full marathon every now and again.  I have always tried to raise money for charity in doing these events and would like to continue doing so.  The big change this time round is the benefactor - I have decided that all money raised by me in future will go to St. Luke's Hospice in Winsford, Cheshire.  St. Luke's is where Andy spent his final days and is a marvellous place, committed to providing compassionate care for people suffering from a life-threatening illness in a calm, loving and homely environment.

61% of the money to keep St Luke's running has to be raised from the public in one form or another. Of the remaining money needed, 32% comes from the Primary Care Trust and Cancer Network, and 7% from Investment Income.

The costs for running St. Lukes in 2006 were over £1.9 million, which means that over £1.1 million needed to be raised by the public (or over £3,000 per day!).  Costs are increasing on a yearly basis.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to donate: St Luke's (Cheshire) Hospice 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.

Please donate generously.

Many thanks for your support.
