Hi folks,

Thank you for visiting my personal fundraising page in support of the Irish Hospice Foundation 'Nurses for Night Care'. I am trying to raise €2,000 for this charity and I am paying all the costs of €1,000 myself. Demand for Nurses for Night Care has doubled over the past five years and continues to grow. About €720,000 is needed to fund the service in 2017.

• Three out of every four people want to die at home, but only about one in four get to do so, according to our research.

• Nurses for Night Care brings hospice care and principles to adults, children and families whereand when they are needed.

• The care and reassurance the nurses providethroughout the night to a loved one, in their ownhome is immeasurable for the person and their

family.

• Cyclists who raised funds for us over the years have played a major role in supporting this care.

• Each day spent in the saddle will mean at least one night of comfort and nursing care. Theminimum amount raised by each cyclist (after costs) equates to 6 nights of care. One week really does a make a difference to those at a very vulnerable time of life.

Go raibh maith agat !
