President John Shaw's LEJOG Cycle for Sue Ryder, Leckhampton Court

Fundraising for Sue Ryder
£8,302
raised of £3,000 target
The past year has been difficult for many, so were aiming to reach as many people experiencing loss as possible. We want to take away some of the tough things that come with losing a loved one, so that families can focus on the most important - love.

Story

As President of Newent & District Rotary Club and Ashleworth Woodpeckers Cricket Club I cycled solo 1225 miles, (1971 Kilometres), from Land's End to John O' Groats via the very hilly and scenic ‘Cicerone Route’ in August - September 2022. 

I'm still continuing my fundraising to help the incredible Sue Ryder Team at Leckhampton Court to provide their expert palliative care and bereavement support.

Please donate to help fill someone's final days with love. £21 could fund an hour of care and £145 could pay for a Hospice Nurse for a day, thereby ensuring that families receive the support that they need. 

This is what Team Sue Ryder at Leckhampton Court say:-  

The room someone dies in doesn't have to be a sombre place. It can be full of music, much-loved pets, or the people who mean the most. Wherever someone spends their final days, you can help give them a better goodbye by supporting Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court today. 

The Team at Sue Ryder will handle the scary stuff, taking the pain, stress, and uncertainty away. This leaves families free to focus on what is really important .....Love.  So please, send a donation today and help fill the room with love. 

Of course, love can come with tears, laughter, memories and more. There are many ways to say goodbye. With your help, we'll find out what is best for a family and fill the room with love.

With many health conditions going untreated over the past 2 years or so we believe more people will need our care in the coming months. As 3 in 4 people would prefer to die at home or in a hospice your support really is more important than ever.
