Story

Dear friends and family, As most of you are aware, my Mum, Connie, is terminally ill with bowel cancer. She has spent the last 9 weeks in St Peter & St James Hospice,where she has received the most compassionate, loving and tender care available anywhere in the world. This care does not come cheap and it cost around £7,200 per day to run, it gets very little government help and  relies heavily upon fund raising activities and voluntary help. It is therefore my intention to try and raise £1,000 (enough to fund just 3 hours running of St. Peter & St. James), by growing a moustache for the whole of October, can I please ask you to sponsor my 'Motober' and helping me to achieve my target of just 3 hours funding for the running of the most wonderful place on this earth for the terminally ill.

I thank you all in anticipation of your support and please feel free to pass this link on to anybody you feel maybe sympathetic to the cause.
