Charity walk in aid of the Peace Hospice Watford

[Peter]

Hi Guys

My wife has asked me to post this message up here to try and raise a little money. A year ago her mother died from ovarian cancer. She spent her final days in a Hospice in Watford, called the Peace Hospice. On the 22nd of May she is taking part in a 1/2 Marathon midnight walk to try and raise some money towards the £3 million it needs a year to operate from charitable donations. So anyone who perhaps would like to donate a little money even a quid as every penny counts please click on this link.

Very generous Peter. Having lost so many friends and family to cancer, including my 7 year old sister, I have a lot of time for people who put in an incredible amount of effort and also my greatest respect to the staff at The Peace Hospice Watford for what must be a very harrowing job.

Thanks very much for your donation Matt. We visited the hospice on several occasions to visit Helens mum. It was amazing how upbeat the staff remain. Alot of the staff are volunteers. I would imagine it would take an awful lot of grit to volunteer your time to a job like that. The government only give 25% of the running costs for the Hospice, so the remainder has to be raised.

Another huge thankyou, this time to Paul Brown for your amazing donation. I have just shown Helen the donations from members of this forum, considering we dont know all of you personally she is overwealmed by your generosity. Thanks again !!

So far we have managed to raise £370 in a week, mainly due to the large donations made by some kind members of this forum. Thankyou!
Please dont feel that you need to donate large amounts, £1 would be great! I am sure alot of you have got other good causes you donate to, and think 'not another one'! Every penny goes to help this Hospice care for people with no hope, to help make their final days a little more comfortable. Many may think that it's only a walk my wife is doing, please bear in mind that she is no athlete! and suffers terrible asthma.

Thanks

Peter
