Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I have been a supporter of Grove House,&nbsp;our local&nbsp;day hospice, for many years.&nbsp;A very close friend&nbsp;&nbsp;of mine&nbsp;had cause to use their services and also&nbsp;of St Francis in Berkhamsted&nbsp;before her death in 2009 and they were wonderful. Having supported them in various small ways when I&nbsp;saw details of their Himalayan Challenge&nbsp;I decided&nbsp;I needed to get out of my comfort zone. They do such good work and help so many people but&nbsp;can do this and expand their services as they want and need to, only if they&nbsp;have the money. I have already met some&nbsp;of the people who will be doing the challenge with me and feel very privileged to be involved with them on this project.&nbsp;We shall be doing volunteer work at a Cancer Centre in Delhi, and then trekking for 3 days, sleeping in tents en route - now that will be a challenge in itself for me!</p> <p>I do hope you will feel able to sponsor me to help Grove House and keep me focused when the training gets hard and on that 3rd day of trekking.</p> <p>&nbsp;Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p> <p>Thank you very much.</p> <p>Brigid</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
