Though we've reached our original sponsorship target it is by no means too late to donate to the Isabel Hospice! The hospice is a charity which provides care for patients living with cancer and many other life-limiting illnesses. I was recently speaking to a member of our club who told me of the support and compassion that the hospice offered to her and her family throughout her father`s illness. As well as providing expert care to such patients the hospice continues to help and support the families of victims into the bereavement period. These services cost Isabel Hospice over £3 million a year to provide. Just over £1 million is covered by the charity's current NHS contracts. The remaining £2 million needs to be raised by people like us, and with the help of your generous donations.
So please please please, dig deep, be generous and get supporting us. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Isabel Hospice Limited will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. So get going and sponsor us now! Many thanks for your support,
Joel (President, University of Warwick Mixed Hockey Club) and all the team.
