Raising money for

St Nicholas Hospice

Charity Registration No. 287773

St Nicholas Hospice Care is a local charity which looks after people with life limiting illnesses. This can include cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, Motor Neurone Disease and the advanced stages of heart and lung disease. We can’t cure these illnesses, but our expertise lies in making life more comfortable for those suffering from them. We aim not just to look after the patient, but to support their family, friends and anyone else affected by the disease. The Hospice provides high quality end of life care but it also supports people earlier in their illness. This ensures that patients and their families have the best quality of life possible. As a registered charity we provide our services entirely free to all those who need our help and support. To do this we need to raise £10,000 per day through the generosity of the local community – thank you for your support.

My story

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

The Sahara Rally is an extremely grueling and challenging event, taking in over 4000 miles of difficult terrain and harsh conditions. As if this wasn't difficult enough we will be tackling this trip in a 1973 Volkswagen Beetle...........called Larry.

For more info on the rally route please check www.SaharaRally.org

To follow our progress as we get ourselves and Larry ready for the journey ahead log on to www.HardWayDown.co.uk

The Rally takes place in July 2009.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: St Nicholas Hospice 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. We also feel it important to state that all of your donation goes to charity, it is not used in anyway to finance the trip.

Please donate generously to this very good cause and help give us the motivation we need in order to complete this challenging adventure!
