Before I can even think about asking anyone to sponsor me, I think its only fair to make you all aware of the charity which you will helping. The Pasque charity (incorporating Keech Cottage) provides specialist palliative care for adults and children with life-limiting conditions. Their mission is to provide the best quality of life for their patients and their families as they prepare for a dignified death. Their multi-professional approach involves medical, nursing, social, spiritual and emotional care and is provided 24 hours-a-day, every day of the year. Care is free to all regardless of race, religion or culture. The Pasque Charity operates two hospice services - The Pasque Adult Hospice and Keech Cottage Children's Hospice. The hospice buildings are located together within beautiful countryside just north of Luton. They also run a children's community nursing team who work with families in their own homes.
Operating the two hospice services will cost £4 million this year. As an independent charity, they rely on the generosity of the local community to raise 75% of this figure.
The money I will be raising will be going specifically to the childrens (Keech Cottage) part of the charity.
