5 days left to pledge - the final push

There are just five days of pledging to go and we've smashed the target set at the start, but we can't afford to get complacent. Every single penny pledged will make a real difference, to two causes that will never be flush with resources.

A week of hospice at home care is estimated to cost £1.8k, so I'm really hoping to raise enough to be able to donate back to Rowcroft that amount in memory of Dad.

Similarly, since this campaign started another family have been in touch with JusticeforLB, sharing the death of their son in similar circumstances and their struggle to get answers as to what happened. I'm more committed than ever to supporting Connor's family to get answers and improve health provision for people with a learning disability.

These causes need every penny they can get, so if you're reading this thinking about whether or not to pledge. Please do, I know the target is surpassed, but this target could be ten times the size it is and still not be enough. I know it's a faff and you have to create an account, and remember your paypal details, or find your credit card, but your donation (whatever size) really is worth that effort, and I personally am extremely grateful for the support. So, please keep pledging and please also keep sharing. We never know who you know, and there are still a couple of large rewards available to teams or organisations, so please share with your networks.

Thank you....let's see if #hairhack can break the £4k barrier x
