I am setting myself this huge challenge in memory of my husband, Ian, who died in Bury Hospice nearly twenty years ago. 

At that time I had my eyes opened to the superb care given and the wonderful work done by the hospice - so since then I have wanted to give back.

For almost seven years I've been a Bury Hospice volunteer and worked as part of a fantastic team of people at the furniture warehouse.

Now is the time to go LARGE in terms of fund-raising and do my bit to try to ensure that the hospice can continue all that it does so brilliantly for our community.

It currently costs £2.56million to run Bury Hospice annually. The hospice only receives 25% of this amount from the government. Every donation helps the hospice - £12 will feed a patient for a day, £35 will cover a physiotherapy session, £50 will support two bereavement sessions.

PLEASE GIVE WHAT YOU CAN!
