ST. LUKE'S HOSPICE (BASILDON & DISTRICT) LIMITED

we are running 10 K in a St Luke’s organised event on May 16th and would like your help to raise as much money as we can to give back to an amazing organisation.

St Luke’s is very near and dear to my heart and our families as they have helped care for our amazing grandad Brian who was diagnosed with an incurable disease in 2022. Our grandparents are very close to me as they have helped raise us along side our parents, they have been amazing to us and we couldn’t ask for a better pair of grandparents. When our grandad was first diagnosed we was unsure of the extent of the illness and as the years went on and his condition worsened he was referred to St Luke’s. He was offered to stay for a few weeks while they helped balance his medicine and got him on the mend to send home. We was welcome to visit whenever we needed and we was treated well by the friendly staff who spoke to us daily and took the time to make us feel as welcome as my grandad during his stay. The nurses from St Luke’s came twice daily after he returned home and would speak to him about his Arsenal games, cooking shows, dinner and worse of all… Heartbeat (which he has now gone off apparently) As well as treating my grandad well they also would treat our nan equally to him, also offering her support and help to take some tasks off her hands and also having a chat. St Luke’s supported both our grandparents at every step of the way.

Our run will not only be in thanks to St Luke’s but to him as well for being the best grandad anyone could ask for.

While we have cared for him they have supported us and most importantly my grandad in the last year as the treatment has progressed.

The hospice help many other individuals and their families like us and deserve a big thank you from the community.

Any donation you give whether that be 10p will go towards a great cause.

Hi, I’m Darcie and in 2026 I’ll be running the TCS London Marathon for the very first time. I’m a dancer by background and running is something I’ve only recently started to take on properly, so this will be a completely new challenge for me and well outside my comfort zone.

I’m fundraising for a cause that’s very close to my heart. In 2017, my Grandad Tom was diagnosed with lymphoma, and seeing the impact cancer can have on someone you love is something that stays with you. Like so many families, ours has been touched by cancer, and this run is my way of giving something back.

All donations will go towards supporting vital research, treatment and care, helping to improve outcomes and support families affected by cancer. I know times are tough for a lot of people at the moment, so please don’t feel any pressure at all - honestly just sharing this page means just as much

Thank you so much for supporting me on this journey, it truly means a lot.

Hello everyone,

May 2026 my mum has finally got the courage and will be doing a skydive in memory of my beautiful Nan who we lost to cancer. This still holds a strong place in our hearts.

I am reaching out to our friends, family and community to ask for help in giving back to St Luke’s hospice to show how much they are truly appreciated.They treated my nan with dignity and care,also supported us throughout and after my nan passing.

Any contribution, no matter the size would mean a lot to us. If you are unable to donate please share to all your friends & family.

Lots of love,

Maddie

Want to join me in making a difference? I’m raising money to benefit ST. LUKE'S HOSPICE (BASILDON & DISTRICT) LIMITED, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

More information about ST. LUKE'S HOSPICE (BASILDON & DISTRICT) LIMITED: St. Luke's Hospice's mission is to provide the highest standards of individualised care for people with life-limiting conditions, palliative and end of life care needs, and their families, living in Basildon and Thurrock districts.

Our family is forever grateful for the exceptional care St Luke's Hospice provided to our lovely dad, grandad, husband, brother and dear friend. During his final week, the compassionate staff went above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable and at peace. St Luke's Hospice truly made a difficult time more bearable, and we want to give back so they can continue their vital work for other families in need. As we celebrate Sid’s life we would appreciate donations to St Luke’s hospice in place of flowers.

On the 10th May, this year, I lost my beloved wife, Sarah, following an 18 month battle with colon cancer. Unfortunately, at the point of diagnosis, the disease was already at stage 4 and, therefore, no curative treatment could have been considered but palliative chemotherapy was able, for a year, to control and limit the progression, providing comfort and quality of life.

Sarah faced her illness admirably, from initial diagnosis through to ultimate prognosis. She was stoic, impressive, not once self-pitying and she maximised the time she had with friends and family. I was, and will always remain, so proud of her mentality and the approach that she took in facing the harshest of realities.

Sir Chris Hoy, suffering a similar prognosis from stage 4 cancer, has proven inspirational and brave enough to organise Tour de 4, which will take place in Glasgow, on 7th September, to help change perceptions around stage 4 cancer, following his own diagnosis. As such, I will be riding the 56 mile red ride, in honour of Sarah, with her full approval to, fundamentally, raise money for St. Luke's Hospice.

St. Luke's Hospice was pivotal in ensuring that Sarah was able to feel well, safe, and provided a sense of home. As her symptoms progressed, the hospice kept Sarah comfortable, eradicated her sickness, her nausea and treated her with tenderness, kindness and, above all, respect.

St. Luke's Hospice, ultimately, allowed Sarah to pass with dignity and pride and, for that alone, I would humbly request that this wonderful charity is supported by any kind donation that you may be able to provide.

With love and utmost gratitude,

Greg

hellooooo! this is the space for payments re: my august flat cafe - in memory of my wonderful stepddad paul, who passed away just over five years ago. St Luke's Hospice helped him so much in his final weeks and days, and so I wanted to do a little something to raise some money for a cause that's very close to my heart.

as a refresher;

£3 for coffees (£1.50 for an espresso)

£2 for teas

+25p for syrups

all baked goods: £2

(if you're paying for any of the pre-cooked food (bagels, bread, soup etc) - double check with me on price!)

i love you guys <3 - ruthie

Hey Everyone! So most have seen my incredibly long hair, I have been growing it for a while, not for any particular reason but it is an important part of me that I cherish. But now being a mother of 3 it spends most of its time tied up and going to waste as I don't have the time to spend on it. So, with a heavy heart (as I know I will probably never have it this long again), I have decided to get most chopped off and sent to the Princess Trust that makes wigs for children and young people.

I will be raising money for them to also have the wig actually made but, I will also be splitting the proceeds with Saint Francis Hospice where my Uncle Alan was wonderfully cared for before he sadly passed away in September and to Saint Luke's Hospice who cared for my Uncle John who also sadly passed away in February.

The cut ✂️ will be happening on Good Friday

Any donation, big or small, will be the greatest of help for these wonderful charities.

Thank you

Chloe

I'm Sam, 22 years old and I'm running the London Marathon 2024 for St Luke’s, Basildon.

I have decided to take part in the marathon, to not only challenge myself but to also raise money for a charity that means a lot to me and my family. 

I am running the marathon in memory of my Grandad, who lost his battle with cancer in 2017. My grandad was a role model to me, and I hope I can make him proud.

St Lukes Basildon, played a huge part in my grandads end of life care, supporting my family every step of the way. I'd be grateful for any donations that will help give back to this charity.
