Prospect Hospice Starlight Walk 2009

Thank you to the 650+ women who took part, all the volunteers who supported the event and everyone who made this year's Starlight Walk such a huge success this year.

It was a great night and although we don't yet know how much we will have raised on the night, we aer hopeful that this year's event will match the £60,000 raised in 2008.

Photos from the evening will be available from Tuesday 30 June 2009.

Sue's Support for Prospect with Summer Appeal Letter

At the start of July we are writing to 7,000 supporters of Prospect Hospice with a letter requesting a renewal of their support based on the story of Sue and John Dale from Cricklade.

Sue's husband John was cared for at the Hospice over three years, before he died last December and we are very appreciative of Sue and her sons Sam and Jack that they have allowed us to tell their story to support our summer appeal.

If you would like to read Sue's letter click here, and if on reading the letter you would like to make a donation towards the kind of care John received at the Hospice, you can do so through the button at the foot of this page, or by completing the direct debit form here. Details on the direct debit form can be read here.

If you would like more details about our summer appeal, contact Andy Renals on 01793 816153.

Sophie's Legacy Reaches £100k milestone

Sophie's Legacy, the tribute fund set up in memory of Sophie Drury, a young woman who was cared for at the end of her life by Prospect Hospice, has now reached its £100,000 target, with the funds raised split between ourselves and Macmillan Cancer Support.

Much of the money raised for the fund came through the sponsorship of fifty runners who took part in the Rome Marathon in March, many of whom are family and friends of Sophie - most significantly her husband Rob (pictured).

The thanks of everyone at Prospect Hospice go out to Rob and all who have raised money for our work in Sophie's memory. Your commitment to the fund means that we can continue to care for patients, around the clock, every day of the year.

In the meantime, a British Lions rugby shirt, signed by Lions legends Will Greenwood and Finlay Calder is now being auctioned to raise funds for Sophie's Legacy. You can make your bid for this fantastic piece of sporting memorabilia on the Sophie's Legacy website, or on http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230350704278
