On 6th July 2013 I'll be walking 15 miles during the night to raise money for the Rowcroft Hospice in Devon. It may not be the London Marathon but the cause is incredibly worthy. 

What Rowcroft say about themselves:

"As the sole provider of adult hospice care in South Devon, Rowcroft Hospice is committed to taking care further. The hospice is a registered charity and relies on the generosity of the public to provide its vital services to those living with progressive, life limiting illnesses. The hospice cares for patients with a wide range of illnesses including cancer, lung disease, heart disease, and neurological conditions.

Whilst Rowcroft’s main base is in Torquay, its services extend throughout South Devon. This covers some 300 square miles contained within the arc from Dawlish, through the moor towns to Dartmouth.

Patients receive specialist care in the hospice’s 17 bedded in-patient unit or in their own homes, cared for by Rowcroft’s community team and 24/7 Hospice at Home nurses. Care is also provided in residential and nursing homes and community hospitals. In addition to this, the hospice offers a range of outpatient services, including a chronic oedema clinic, occupational and physiotherapy, complementary therapy and art and music therapies.
