Ned is swimming as many lengths as he can at Truro College on Mondays to thank the amazing staff at the Duchess of Kent Hospice in Reading,.
The past year has been difficult for many, so were aiming to reach as many people experiencing loss as possible. We want to take away some of the tough things that come with losing a loved one, so that families can focus on the most important - love.

Story

Ned is raising money for Sue Ryder Duchess of Kent Hospice in Reading, a place where his much beloved Grampi, John Milward, was cared for so wonderfully. They look after people living with life-limiting conditions and offer support for families too. The team provide expert care and support across Berkshire in the hospice and out in the community, combining specialist medical care for managing pain and other symptoms, with other emotional, practical, and spiritual support. We said goodbyes at Greyfriars Church on 9th September 2022. Any amount of sponsorship would mean so much to Ned.

The room someone dies in doesn't have to be a sombre place. It can be full of music, much-loved pets, or the people who mean the most. Wherever someone spends their final days, you can help give them a better goodbye, by supporting Sue Ryder Duchess of Kent today. We'll handle the scary stuff, taking the pain, stress, and uncertainty away. This leaves families free to focus on what's really important love. So please, send a gift today, and help fill the room with love.

Of course, love can come with tears, laughter, memories and more. There are many ways to say goodbye. With your help, we'll find out what's best for a family and fill the room with love.

With many health conditions going untreated over the last year, we believe more people will need our care in the coming months. And 3 in 4 people would prefer to die at home or in a hospice. So your support really is more important than ever.
