Story

I've created this page because I want to make a difference.  Dove House Hospice provide all sorts of practical and emotional care and support to individuals and their families throughout a terminal illness and after a loved one has died.  Dove House hospice have helped our family when my husband, Paul was diagnosed with cancer and died within just 6 months in 2018.  Their support has included a bereavement group for our young daughter.  It costs £8 million to fund Dove House Hospice every year so I want to raise money for them as part of my participation in the Sahara Trek. 

Please help me help them by giving whatever you can using the 'Donate' button. The more people that know about Dove House Hospice, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!
