The Charity
Having completed last year's single end to end for charity we had no intention of collecting money again. However when people heard what we were doing this year they were all offering to sponsor us and so we decided to go for it. Throughout Cornwall in 2008 there has been a massive campaign to raise money to build a children's hospice and so we decided to put our efforts into this.
Children's Hospice South West run several beautiful hospices in the region but at the moment none in Cornwall. The nearest is in North Devon and so this can mean terminally ill children and their families travelling 100 miles from West Cornwall. At this traumatic time this is the last thing that is needed.
We set ourselves an ambitious target of raising £2500 and immediately regretted it as money only trickled in but more of this later.
UPDATE: In total we raised almost exactly £4000- a great big thankyou to those who donated.
