Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Mission Accomplished............All that training paid off and I completed the Trek!!!! Many thanks to all who supported me and made such generous donations. I will post a few images, hopefully, so you can see I really was there!

Not Too Late To Donate................

ALL donations will go directly to Acorns. I am completely self funding myself on this Trek. Whatever your donation - Acorns get it ALL.

Acorns Children's Hospice provides care for local children and young people with life limiting conditions - children who WILL NOT reach adulthood, as well as support for their families. There is no charge for Acorns service, but running costs stand at £4500 per day per hospice, thats £450 per bed. Simply put, £450 covers the cost of one child's care for a day!

For more information check out their website, www.acorns.org.uk
