St Luke’s is a local hospice in Cheshire which does great work in the community, work which goes far beyond residential care for the terminally ill.

With just 15% of its funding from government, 85p in every £1 needed must be raised from voluntary donations and sponsorship.

St Luke’s has asked its supporters to sign up to a February 100 km challenge.

I have signed up and ask you to sponsor my attempt to complete an extra 100k in the month of February by walking and cycling.

For more than 35 years, St Luke's has provided the highest levels of care and support to local people and their families at a time in their lives when they need it most.

As we receive just 15% of our funding from the Government, we have to rely on the kindness of local people to help fundraise the rest - so your donation will mean that we can provide all of our services free of charge for our patients, both now and in the future.
