Story

<p>In March this year I will be joining a small team from The Prince of Wales Hospice&nbsp;on&nbsp;a 4 day trek in the Sahara desert followed by 2 days spent at a hospice in&nbsp;Marakesh where we will undertake&nbsp;a building project aimed at&nbsp;improving&nbsp;the patient environment.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Whilst the challenge itself will no doubt be a fantastic [albeit gruelling] experience, the ultimate&nbsp;aim is to&nbsp;raise&nbsp;much needed funds&nbsp;for The Prince of Wales Hospice in Pontefract, which provideds specialiast palliative care for&nbsp;patients within Eastern Wakefield [and beyond] living with life limiting illness and also provides support for their families.</p> <p>Prior to the trek I need to raise a minimum sponsorshop of &pound;1600 although I have set myself a target of &pound;2000, and over the next few months have a number of fundraising&nbsp;events planned to help me achieve this.</p> <p>If you would like to help me achieve my target and thus&nbsp;support the hospice you could do so&nbsp;by making a small donation. Any donation will be very much appreciated&nbsp;- every bit helps!</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
