In Memory of Jacque (Jack) Milne Clark
          20th April 1938 - 8th September 2008

My Dad Jacque passed away peacefully at 00:50 on 8th September 2008, after spending 10 days in a private room at St. Michael's Hospice. Where he was so very kindly cared for by all. I would also like to thank all the staff for being so understanding and caring for the family as a whole. I can't praise them highly enough, nothing seemed too much trouble and any wish was quickly catered for.

On Saturday Night (20th September 2008) My Daughter Rachel and myself, completed The Venus Challenge A 10K midnight walk for women in aid of St. Michael's Hospice and Ken volunteered to marshal for the event. I am aware that you may have wanted to sponsor us, but we couldn't get around to everyone with our sponsor forms. So if you do still want to and you have a credit or debit card handy, just click on the donate button, the process is easy to understand and simple to use.

Did you know that the Hospice needs over £3 million per year and 85% of the funds required are collected by donation.

Donating to St. Michael's Hospice through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: St Michael's Hospice (Hereford) 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.

The "amount raised offline" total below is mainly cash sponsorship from the Venus Challenge and I wish to thank so many people for the sum raised. Here is a list of those people in no particular order :-

We had requested donations to "The Hospice" instead of flowers at the funeral and a total of £60.50 has been forwarded directly to St. Michaels from the funeral directors Bayley Brothers. I have been a little cheeky perhaps in adding this sum to the offline total.

And a very special Thankyou to those people below, :-

2010 Venus Challenge

This year Rachel and myself did the Venus Challenge again and collected £74. This was not as much as in we collected in 2008 and at first I was a little dissapointed. Then I realised that there were 1100 entrants to the challenge this year, that's probably why the donations were lower.
