Please help if you can

My grandad was diagnosed with lung cancer just a couple of months ago and sadly lost his battle on September 11th 07. He was looked after for the last few weeks of his life by the wonderful Doctors,Nurses and Volunteers at St Michael's Hospice in Herefordshire. It was a beautiful place and despite its nature was a place of pure love and joy. The Nurses who looked after my grandad were angels who were never too busy to even make him a cup of tea or sit with him for a short while so he wasnt alone.

St Michael's Hospice is a 16-bed inpatient centre and day hospice. They rely on donations to stay open,costing £6,680 ADAY!! 85% of this money is raised through funding alone.
As a result of loosing my Grandad,my sister in law..Lucy Rumsey has decided to take part in a fundraising event for the hospice called The Venus Challenge. The Venus Challenge is a 10k walk at midnight through Hereford town.
Please help if you can..give as little or as much as you can afford and help raise money for a wonderful place..in the name of Francis George Benjamin Morris 22.1.1930 - 11.9.2007
