As some of you may know my friend Samantha has been diagnosied with a rare form of leukymia and they do not know how to treat it as so few people have it. Barts hospital in London are making her as comfortable as possible but rely on donations from friends & family to help them with this.

I am walking 10 miles tomorrow from shoeburyness to leigh on sea along the seafront (and its too early for the pub to be open) to help raise money for Barts. This will be a great personal achievement as I can not walk long distances due to a back injury , I am expecting too be last but it doesnt matter as long as I finish.

All donations would be greatly appreciated even if you can only afford a £1 every little will help.

Please pm if you help this great hospital

thank you

PS Will be wearing my geek t'shirt for all too see.

hi Lucia....i'm not being rude in the slightest, and its taken me the last 2 hours to ask this question but why are the hospital asking her family and friends to make payments to make her comfortable?

I aplologise in advance if i have offended you and think you are great for willing to help raise money...i was just asking myself this.

Put me down for a Fiver hun...pm with payment details xxx

You havent offended in thh slightest hun, when patients are terminally ill although the NHS provides them with basic care and food etc, the hospital like to give them treats and do things for them that is not in their budget. if their is something they would really like to do they try and give them their wishes as they do not have long too live. donations from family and friends make this possible. So the money we have raised today will go to Barts hospital will help with all terminally ill patients not just my friend as some people do not have anyone.

Hope that answers your question hun
