Jozef's Dream and Children's Hospice South West benefits from fundraising walk
A team of six people walked 15 miles last month to raise funds for Jozef’s Dream CIC and Children’s Hospice South West in memory of Jozef Stasiak, who suffered from complex health issues and passed away aged just 12.

The walk raised £1,693.28, which will be divided between the two causes. Heidi Stasisk, Sue Marshall, Taryn Pennock, Helen Smithers, and Pastors Adrian and Sue Mitchell completed the journey from Lappa Valley near Newquay to Children’s Hospice South West’s Little Harbour at Porthpean near St Austell.

Lappa Valley was one of Jozef's favourite places to visit, and Little Harbour is where he and his family stayed during his final days.
Jozef’s Mum, Heidi Stasiak, was grateful to everyone who supported them on this poignant fundraising journey. She said: “We thank everyone who generously donated and those who cheered us on and tooted their horns along the way. We are also thankful to the businesses that offered us the use of their facilities for comfort breaks on the route: Mark Kessell Cars, The Queen’s Head, St Stephen and Trewoon Village Stores.
“The funds raised for Jozef’s Dream will help us continue our mission to improve the lives of children with complex needs in Cornwall. We will now be in a better position to assist more local schools, helping them purchase sensory equipment to support their students' learning.”

The community interest company made its first grant recently to help Mawnan Primary School near Falmouth purchase sensory equipment.
