Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

My name is Deyrick, and I am raising money for Derian House Children's Hospice which supports more than 400 children with life limiting conditions across Lancashire, with respite and end-of-life care. The hospice strives to deliver children (up to the age of 26) with the very best care, and enables families to create happy memories together.

I am hoping to achieve my fundraising goal by conquering a sponsored diet with the help from my sons, friends and family. My eldest son has a Degree in Nutrition and my second eldest, has a Masters in Strength and Conditioning. The challenge will not be easy for me, as I do enjoy a cheese sandwich and a cheeky beer, or two! I am starting my challenge pre-christmas to ensure that I stay focused over the holiday period and can go into the New Year one step ahead. I am looking forward to experiencing the positive changes with my health and I will be sharing my journey on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

It costs £4 million a year to run the services at Derian House. Your money will go a long way in helping children and young people, whose lives are too short, to make happy memories in an environment of fun, respect and above all, high quality care. 

This is how your money can help:

£10.00 can pay for art supplies to make treasured hand and footprints

£50.00 could pay for a bereavement counselling session

£75.00 can allow a family to enjoy a splash session in the hydrotherapy pool

£150.00 could pay for a hospice nurse for a day

£1000.00 can allow a family to enjoy a week's holiday in the Derian on Holiday lodge at Ribby Hall

I'd like to thank The Lanes Group who have been incredibly supportive with my challenge and with the help on social media, as well as the team at Media Village.
