Benjamin's Fundraiser

Hello my name is Benjamin. My Grandad unfortunately died in January 2022. He would always support me in my football matches by being there whatever the weather. My Grandad was a fan of golf and Toenham Hotspur and I always watched the games on TV with him.

We had lots of fun family holidays with Nanny and Grandad. In August 2021 we had recently got home from another family holiday on the Isle of Wight when Grandad was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour.

The Garden House Hospice at home team helped my family have a Christmas at home with him by giving us all the care and support we needed to get through this rollercoaster of a me. The carers came to my Nanny's house every day for the eight weeks that my Grandad was very poorly.When he did unfortunately pass away, I got counselling sessions to help with the grief from the Garden House Hospice which were amazing.

This is why I am cycling for the Garden House Hospice to raise money. I am going to cycle 25 mes around by local estate - each lap is 1mile. My seven year-old sister is also going to scoot one lap ! www.justgiving.com/page/benjaminlynch-1672660486306 posivemovement@sadiecentre.org for more info or call 01462 678804.

I loved my Grandad very much and miss him every day and wanted to do something that would help others in the same situaon. I would be very grateful if you could please sponsor me because the help that the Garden House Hospice gave us has been fabulous and your support will mean that they can connue to do this for other families.
