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

Arlo James Hamond

27 June 2008 - 4 July 2009

Dear friends and family,

EACH home-care nurses were a crucial part of the superb care Arlo Hamond received in his twelve months of life and they continue to support all our family after his death. This is an opportunity for us to try and do something to raise money for all the nurses who supported Nick and Helen, as well as for other families who might need end-of-life care for their children.
Arlo's Gang completed the 3 mile walk as part of the Ride for Life event at Thetford Forest on 17 May, joined on the day by our cousin Andrew and good friends Penny and Phil Chapman. It took us two and a half hours, which must be a record of sorts! Please give what you can. Many thanks from all of us.

Arlo's Gang would especially like to thank all the children and staff at Mundesley Junior School who have collected £108.10 for our fundraising page. You are the best!
