Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

It's just over 10 years since my father in law, Neil Clark, died at the LOROS hospice after a short battle with cancer.  My wife and her family wanted to mark the occasion in as positive way as possible so when they decided to dedicate themselves to training for a half marathon to raise money for LOROS I was proud to help in any small way I could - so I joined them.

The family are an amazing family and have had to help each other through a really rough ten years but I know that LOROS were key to providing support, especially at the vey beginning.

LOROS need you to give them some money, I'm not exaggerating.  It costs £7.5 million each year for LOROS to be able to deliver their services, of which at least £4.5 million has to be raised each year within the local community.  It's difficult to see how any amount we can afford to donate can make any significant impact but it really can:

• £10 could pay for collecting a patient from home for day treatment
• £25 could pay for an hour’s care for a LOROS in-patient
• £100 could pay for a Community Nurse Specialist patient visit
• £700 could pay for the cost of a nurse for a week
• £850 could pay for the running of the Hospice for an hour

On top of that JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
