Risking Life And Limb For Claire House

Vince Ferguson of Inciner8 LtdHaving completed 110 miles in just one day, Vince managed a further 70 miles on his bike when he was hit by a passing vehicle.

Despite having to abandon his challenge, Vince has raised an astonishing £2,000 to support children and young people with complex medical conditions and their families.

Claire House Children’s Hospice required £6,500 every single day to provide care and respite to its families. Its newest fundraising initiative asks fundraisers to pledge to ‘Pay for a Day’ and cover the cost of a day at the hospice. In return, the day that fundraisers pay for becomes their day at Claire House to remember an anniversary or a loved one.

Vince’s company Inciner8 has topped up his initial £2,000 sponsorship to pay for a full 24 hours care. The hospice has dedicated Monday 10th September 2012 to Inciner8 as a thank you for their amazing efforts.
Vince said: “I think Claire House Children’s Hospice is a wonderful charity. Having 17 stitches is nothing in comparison to what many of these families go through and I’m delighted to be able to support the work of the hospice.”

Lyn Taylor, Southport Area Fundraiser for Claire House, is so grateful of Vince’s support. “Vince really has put himself through the ringer for Claire House. He’s a real trooper. His attitude and bravery reflects that of our families who constantly battle against adversity.

“Everyone at Claire House thanks Vince and Inciner8 and we look forward to celebrating their day at the hospice on Monday 10th September.”
