Posted by Zak on Tuesday Sep 30, 2008 Under Uncategorized

Hi There

We’re getting very excited at Prezzybox HQ because starting tomorrow, its Breast Cancer Month! We’re all taking on a challenge and it’s going to be great.

We’re raising money for St Giles hospice which is a local hospice that cares for patients with cancer as well as other terminal illnesses providing those affected with a great quality of life and a great amount of care. Hospices are expensive to run and don’t always get enough money from the government, that’s where we come in.

If you’re wondering what your sponsorship pennies will buy, here’s the breakdown:

£5 provides a nutritious meal for a patient on the In-Patient Unit

£10 Will help one of our patiente feel relaxed and refreshed in one of our special baths

£20 Enables a patient to recieve a complimentary therapy session

£50 Will provide a bereavement councelling session to a child or an aduld who has lost a loved one.

£75 Allows a child recieving treatment by our specialist Lyphoedema Clinic to wear made to measure hosiery

£100 Enables one of our Community Team Nurses to make a home visit to a patient

£125 Will find the cost of a clinic appointment to the Lyphoedema Clinic

£250 Provides 24 hours of dedicated specialist Hospice at home care for patients at the very end of life

£500 Covers the cost for an admission to the In-Patient Unit.

£1,000 Will run the Day hospice for one day enabling up to 10 patients to recieve specialist care and support and develop new skills to enhance their quality of life.

We really need your support, so please donate whatever you can via our Justgiving page, it really is going to an amazingly good cause. Keep your eyes on the blog for regular updates from our staff and their challenges.
