I am a Clinical Nurse Specialist for Specialist Palliative and End of Life Care at Royal Cornwall Hospital Truro.

I am training for and cycling the 'Tour-de Kernow' in September, a 3 day 200 mile challenge on Cornwall's winding roads to raise money for our small charity - Butterfly Cornwall, which is part RCHT charities,

The Butterfly Cornwall project aims to improve the way patients and their loved ones spend their last days together.

Your kind donations allow the Palliative Care and End of Life team to purchase additional equipment, improve and enhance rooms used for patients at end of life, provide some added home comforts and in some cases make a 'Rainbow Day' happen meeting a patients special wishes.

Sadly, many people will be in hospital at the end of their life and our initiative acts to improve the quality of that time.
