Even if you have a Will, it may have been written some years ago and your circumstances may have changed. If this is the case, your Will might need changing. The good news is that local solicitors throughout Cornwall have agreed to waive their normal fee and update or write standard Wills in return for a donation to local charity, Cornwall Hospice Care. All you have to do is contact any one of the participating local solicitors or independent financial advisers and ask for a ‘Make a Will Week’ appointment during or around the week which runs from 12th May to 16th May 2008. All money raised will help Cornwall Hospice Care provide specialist medical, practical, emotional and spiritual care to people living with life threatening illness, their families and carers.

JOHN O'GROATS TO LANDS END CHARITY CYCLE RIDE FOR CORNWALL HOSPICE CARE
Description: My sister and I are cycling from John O'Groats to Lands End to raise money for the Cornwall Hospice Care Fund, a charity very close to our hearts. We will travel around 940 miles taking mostly A and B roads to avoid the motorways - so it will take slightly longer than neccessary! I work at Carnon Downs Surgery near Truro and the patients along with my colleagues and friends have already donated just over £2000 so far, our target is to raise £3000. This will pay for one bed for one week at the Hospice, it cost £9.50 per minute of every day to run the charity and we want to raise as much as we can. If you would like to help us reach our target and donate please go to justgiving.com/juliekath. Please help us fund this truly Cornish Charity, we are also looking for any corporate sponsorship to help with the petrol and accommodation costs of our support team also - if you or your business can help in anyway please contact Alison Hunt on 01326 314560.
