Hospice support
On Friday my 2 grandsons aged 10 and 9 years are swimming in an annual event, the crossing of the Padstow to Rock estuary in Cornwall, a distance of 1 mile. It's in memory of their Nan, Jenny, who died last year from mesothelioma (lung cancer caused by exposure to asbestos). She, and our family, were given amazing support by HospiceCare in Exeter whilst she was ill and the boys would love to help raise funds for them.
However we realise that most CAMC members come from well outside this area. So if you feel able to make a contribution to a cause that touches so many of us perhaps you would consider instead donating to your own local Hospice or maybe Cancer Research instead.
Many thanks for taking the time to read this. RogerR.

That's very generous of you. Swim duly completed and with Gift Aid they raised just short of £400 through their 'giving' web-site.
Accompanied by their mum and dad they entered the water in Padstow just after 5pm and 35 minutes and 1 mile later walked up the ramp at Rock.
Conditions were pretty tough, the good weather seemed to take a day off but Job Done!!

Well done to your grandchildren.
Having lost both parents many years ago to cancer, numerous aunts and uncles to the same and now having my last blood aunt in a local hospice with the dratted disease I can say that I fully support your hope that we can continue to dip into our pockets to help fight this unwanted guest.
