On behalf of the Martlets Hospice, may I invite readers to support patient care by making a donation to our 2008 Christmas Light Up A Life Appeal.

Send a cheque, made payable to the Martlets Hospice, to Wayfield Avenue, Hove BN3 7LW or call the hospice office on 01273 747455 to make a credit card donation.

Donations can also be made at www.themartlets.org.uk.

Every donation makes a real difference to our ability to deliver much needed end of life care both at the hospice and in the home. Thank you for your support.

Robert Griffiths, director of fundraising, Martlets Hospice
