This site is both a tribute to Neil Appleby and a fundraising page in his name. Our goal, which is something Neil very much wanted, is to raise enough money to cover his twenty eight days of care at the Duchess of Kent Hospice, which is approximately £15K. 

Neil was looked after with incredible care, compassion and good humour by the staff of this charitably funded hospice. Without the Duchess Of Kent hospice and its wonderful staff, Neil's final weeks would have been spent in a hospital bed, with little or no privacy, and no space for his family to visit privately.

As his family, we cannot express our gratitude enough in words for the caring and warm atmosphere The Duchess Of Kent hospice provided for Neil and his nearest and dearest at this most difficult time. So instead, we are attempting to say it with fundraising. 

Whether you can donate a little or a lot, or somewhere in between, it would mean an enormous amount to us if you could contribute to this cause, which will allow this wonderful hospice to afford more care for more families in the same tragic position. 

The Duchess Of Kent hospice give advice and support for the challenges facing people living with a life-limiting condition, as well as supporting their families. Through their inpatient hospice they offer round-the-clock assessment and specialist care to help manage patients' symptoms.

In Neil's name, let's help them continue to do that.
