A large group of friends are planning a weekend of support at the Little Haven’s Children Hospice nr. Southend-on-Sea , with over 20 institutions involved.
On the 10th/ 11th March 2007 we will spend 24 hours in a Marquee at Little Haven’s supporting and providing entertainment for the children and their families.
Activities will include,
General maintenance and jobs in the Hospice
Gardening and tidying in the Hospice grounds
Arranging a party and entertainment tea-time for patients and siblings
The weekend will be challenging for us all. Everyone involved will spend the weekend on-site, living, eating and ‘not’ sleeping in a large marquee! Lot ’s of entertainment including:
An early evening quiz followed by Karaoke singing
Enjoying Jazz with Dave Barlow and Diaz plus friends
Trying to recover on the floor of a cold marquee, suffering various decibels of snoring. Closing ceremony on Sunday lunchtime
Roberto, one of the organisers, has already had his life touched by the Hospice, where he has spent time there with his daughter Lily and family. Lily has a rare incurable disease which will progressively worsen and eventually require in-patient care.
The plan is to raise as much money as possible for the Hospice, not just with our endurance weekend but through a number of other fundraising events including charity auctions and sponsored long distance cycle rides and runs like the London Marathon.
Little Haven’s really appreciate your support and you can do your bit by, either sponsoring one of our events or bidding in one of our auctions.
TARGET = £99,999 to pay for three + nursing members for 2007
We have already gained tremendous support from friends and colleagues, including a number of leading institutions. Deutsche Bank, SegaIntersettle, Citco, Banco Espirito, CS Motors, Semikron, PME, Britvic, Mactavish, Euro Med.,RBOS, MA Partners, BMW, Credit Suisse, Chi-x , DB Bender Securities and Essex Life
