Bellywobble, if you would like to donate I can pass your details on to http://www.pwh.org.uk/ if you wish, or anybody else for that matter :idea:

Do any of the cancer charities / hospices do anything like this - sounds like they don't

Davey - don't take this the wrong way - For personal reasons I would prefer to donate something to a cancer charity like MacMillan maybe. (We all have our own choices to make here don't we) From what you say they should all be able to do what your hospice does and auction the week in some way.

I suppose I had the idea that maybe it would be more direct offering a break to a family who had been through it a bit, but I guess that any way would be worth while.

Good :)

I have just emailed Macmillan to find out how they might deal with this kind of thing - if they get back to me with anything positive I will post it here.

best wishes
