Two and a half years ago, my wife Andrea was dying rapidly from Motor Neurone Disease and was moved to the Exeter Hospiscare unit for her final two days. The difference that the people at Hospiscare made was phenomenal. Nothing was too much trouble. Andrea had peace and quiet in a lovely room, with space for family and friends, and the very best care. We wheeled her bed out into the sunny garden and she had quality time with us for those final hours. We could not thank Hospiscare enough.  

Hospiscare is now in real trouble and they need our help. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a catastrophic effect on their ability to keep going. The hospice’s income is not recovering quickly enough to keep pace with costs and they are facing a large deficit.

Unless they can raise £1 million by March 2022, they face having to make drastic cuts.

So here is your chance to see me suffer and raise money for a great cause! I have put up £1000 for Hospiscare myself and I want you to match it with another £1000 for me to get waxed. I'll have my legs, back and chest waxed which will cause untold pain and give all of you something to laugh about while raising money for this worthy cause.

A good friend has volunteered to rip off my body hair. I think she'll need ear defenders!

So - Put your hands in your pockets and make me cry with pain!
