Story

Hi - I'm Mike Bridge - known by many simply as Bridgey.On the 5th June 2018, life changed for my family when I was diagnosed with terminal cancer. The average life expectancy I was told  was just 12 months. Pretty devastating stuff !I have decided to do two things, whilst I can. Firstly, I am participating in a medical trial which for sure gives me some hope but just as importantly will help a better understanding of my condition for others. If this saves someone else - that would be just brilliant.Secondly, and the purpose of my fund raising efforts is to try to raise as much money to support the opening of a Hospice in Winchester.See www.winchesterhospice.comThe appeal has raised close to £1m of the £2.5m needed to provide the dignity, support and care that end of life patients deserve. It will also act as a hub for palliative care services in the local area. Currently people have to travel some distance which adds to the burden at the most critical of times.A great team of people are trying to get this project completed for 2019 and I am proud to be acting as an Ambassador on their behalf.My competitive spirit would just love to be able to hit my fundraising goal and to be able to be a part of a local success story.Thank you for reading my story and, I hope, for your generosity in making this happen.Lets get this built !Bridgey
