Background

I'm raising money for Rowcroft Hospice because they looked after Liz so well, yet they only receive about a third of their funding from the NHS. It costs £16,000 per day to run all of their services (including their 17 in-patient beds), so on the basis that Liz was there for 9 days, I've worked out a fundraising target for this page of £2,500, which I WILL MATCH £ for £. With Gift Aid, that should add up to £6,000!

I'm also raising funds for St Margaret's Somerset Hospice because they are the hospice closest to where I work in Taunton and Yeovil (click on Liz's name at the top of the page to find the link to it).
