Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I decided to take on this challenge with my god daughter in mind as life could have led us down another path that I wouldn't wish on anyone. My god daughter Ellie was diagnosed with Leukaemia early in 2018 and has come a long way since however there are other children that have not had the same story as Ellie. Unfortunately, some of the children that Ellie met on her journey have sadly lost their lives to cancer which is why I wish to raise as much money as I can in order to keep this Hospice running. I have had my own experiences with hospices for adults and without the facility I am not sure how my family would have coped.

Claire House provides so much happiness in the last moments a child has and fulfils their last wishes; without donations this would not be possible. I cannot imagine myself being in the position of parents who are in the knowledge that their little one will not grow up. I had a glimpse of this with my god daughter and it broke my heart. She's not even my child; to imagine what her own mother and father felt is beyond words.

Please help raise some money for an amazing cause. Don't worry I shall post plenty of pictures throughout the challenge so you can all laugh at my expense :)

Thank you in advance
