Bob Lee from Barrington, Illinois just started a cross-country bike ride to raise money and awareness for hospice charity, ALS, and cancer research. He calls them his "Three Reasons" and 100% of the donations to his ride are going to one of three charities: The National Hospice Foundation, The Les Turner ALS Foundation and the American Cancer Society.
Seems like a great cause to me if you're looking for a hospice-related charity to donate to.
Apparently it's taken him three years to plan this ride. He himself is a cancer survivor. I think he's 65 years old.
Bob is keeping a daily blog/travelogue on his ride. I've included links to his website and blog below, as well as some links to a couple other well-respected hospice charities.
There are, of course, lots of local hospice organizations as well that you might consider. It's your choice. I just thought the ride was a kind of cool thing.
Hope this helps!

Depending on what you'd like to donate, you should definitely check out The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO).

I know of a wonderful one called Nancy Hinds Hospice, in Fresno, CA. They administer care in privated homes, and also have a home for admission. They are 100% dedicated to helping people, regardless of ability to pay. I'm sure they have a web site. They provide wonderful, compassionate, care. Nancy Hinds runs the home, and herself is a committed and wonderful person.
