This invaluable Hospice to be based in Cornwall will help families with sick children who currently have to cross the border into Devon to use the specialist facilities and care in their own county.

The aim of the Precious Lives appeal is to save Cornish families long journeys to existing hospices at Barnstaple or Bristol.

Fundraisers include people like Sheila Richards from Millbrook.听She was inspired to fundraise after her baby granddaughter had a health scare. She sent in her pound coin and also held a Curry Night at her home.听

She raised 拢50 and is planning another similar event,听she explains,听"In Cornwall we need somewhere like Little Bridge house, exactly the same support.听 It's a long way to go to north Devon with a sick child.听 If it's within our county, that alleviates suffering."听

Emma says, "an amazing response, the people of Cornwall are so generous.听This is such a fantastic facility that could be brought to the county and so needed by so many families.听The people of Cornwall are doing what they usually do and pulling the stops out."

大象传媒 Radio Cornwall is pledging its support to the 拢5m appeal for the children's hospice in the county.

Acting Managing Editor Daphne Skinnard explains, "when we launched the appeal we could never have imagined raising so much money in so little time.

"Thank you very much for your support.听It just shows the strength of spirit in Cornwall to make things happen.听We know the new children's hospice will make so much difference to local youngsters and their families, which is why we decided to support the appeal.听

"Please let us know if you are arranging any events..or if you'd like to make a donation."
