St Christopher's Fun Walk · 22 May 2011

Every year we provide care and support to over 6,500 people across South East London, both at home and in the hospice. We passionately believe that everyone should have access to the best care at the end of their lives. We need to fundraise £16 million each year to continue our services

Story

Thank you so much to all of you who donated to this page for St Christopher's Hospice and in memory of my gorgeous brave son - Ben who died aged 22 from cancer.

We had so much fun on the day..............

Lots of love

Aunt Sally and Worzel (aka Debbie and Phil)

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am taking part in a family funwalk on 22nd May to raise money for St Christopher's Hospice in Sydenham. As you all know, I lost my brave, young son Ben, aged 22, to Osteosarcoma (bone cancer) in 2005 and after a long 2 and a half year battle he ended his journey at St Christopher's Hospice where they not only took care of his needs but the needs of his family and friends as well.

After Ben had been there for 2 days, he asked me, "Mum, why do people have to be dying before they get this kind of care?” It is this 'kind of care' that also led me to work full time for St Christopher's because I believe 100% in what they do. 

St Christopher's is a registered charity. It costs over £14 million every year to deliver all their services.  Only about one third of their income comes from the NHS. They must raise more than £9 million to continue to deliver patient and family services free of charge.   

St Christopher's rely on donations to continue caring for dying people and those close to them. 

So please help by donating on this page and sponsoring me to walk 11 miles, I will be walking in fancy dress as Aunt Sally (with good old Worzel accompanying me) 

So please dig deep and donate.
