Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running both the Manchester and Mersey Tunnel 10km races on the 26th May and 9th June 2013.

The aim of Wirral Hospice St John's is to warmly welcome people with progressive illness, which has failed to respond to curative treatment, into the quiet calm of a highly professional caring atmosphere, which comforts always both them and those who are important to them.

In October 2012, after a long fought fight my nan lost her battle with cancer while staying in St. John's Hospice. My family and I were devastated that such a big part of our lives had been taken from us.

The support 'Our Mave' received from all the staff and nurses at the Hospice amazed us all. There willingness to go the extra mile made sure she was confortable and peaceful during her final days.

I wish to raise money for St. John's Hospice so that other people with Cancer and their families can receive the help and support that my family and our beloved Mave receieved from this wonderful and special place.

Here is some more information about the cost of running the Hospice...

Without the support of fundraising the Hospice wouldn't be able to provide such services for sufferers and their families. The demands on the Hospice service continue to grow, this year the cost of running the Hospice will be £3.1 million pounds for the year, £258 thousand per month and £8490 for 24 hours of care.
