Our amazing mum, Pat Wheeler, lost her 8 week battle with Pancreatic Cancer in April 2017. During the last 24 years of her life she was extremely pasionate about raising money for Cornwall Hospice Care on the local fundraising committee. She told us endlessly how amazing and worthwhile our hospices were. However, it was only when she was admitted to the hospice herself, first to St Julias, and then to Mount Edgecumbe, that we fully appreciated what she had been tirelessly fundraising for. The dignity and support they gave to both her, and us during the last 2 weeks of her life was amazing in every way - they were finally able to manage her pain and she felt safe and cared for. We can't imagine going through what we did without the support of the incredible hospice staff, and my Dad, brother and I will be eternally grateful for this.

So when she passed away, we pledged to continue raising money for Cornwall Hospice Care as a legacy to her. This is the third cycle challange that Team Pat have taken on (my second!) - this time we will be cycling 278 miles across Cornwall and France in just 4 days. We are covering all our costs for the trip so every penny you give will go to funding our hospices.

So please help by giving us (or any other member of Team Pat) whatever you can - every single pound helps. Cornwall Hospice Care receives very little government funding so totally relies on fundraising to operate - they really need our help to continue to fund this care. The more people know about Cornwall Hospice Care the greater the impact, so please spread the word by sharing our pages with friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity in supporting us - it means so much.
