<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
<p>Last year I completed the London to Paris bike ride for the Royal British Legion.This year I wanted to provide support for the Hospice of St Francis in Berkhamsted.The Hospice provides a tremendous service not only for the seriously ill but also for their families and friends.I know so because I have personal experience of their work dating back to 2009.</p>
<p>The Hospice receives only 20% of its £3m budget from the government,the rest it has to raise through a variety of activities,not the least being sponsored events such as the one I will be embarking on in September.On 7th September I start a trek which I hope will take me to the top of Kilimanjaro,the highest mountain in Africa at 19336 feet above mean sea level.Joining me will be a colleague from work and my brother-in-law who will be flying in from Singapore.</p>
<p>Any amount of sponsorship would be appreciated.The first £500 will be matched by my employer's Charitable Foundation. </p>
