Perky's "Going Dry" for 2017 · 28 December 2016

Pilgrims Hospices is a charity providing palliative care, free of charge, to people in east Kent. For people with a range of life-limiting illnesses, specialist services are provided from our three hospices in Canterbury, Ashford and Thanet, in patients' homes and via community programmes.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am about to start probably the biggest challenge of my life (as most of you know I do like the occasional libation!) and in a year when it's my wife's (Kate) 40th birthday, best man at my friends wedding (Phil Cox), Stag Do's, Golf Trips etc....but, going dry for 2017 isn't about me, it's a challenge that will hopefully raise funds for The Pilgrims Hospices around our county.

I have a close affinity with the hospices as my mother passed away in the Ashford hospice in 2014 after a battle with Cancer. The organisation and staff there were incredible and are almost totally reliant on charitable donations. I have raised money for them in the past by completing the Pilgrims 100 cycle ride twice and will be taking part again this May, but the Dry Year is on a different level to that!!!!

I will give you monthly updates on how I'm getting on!!! And will hopefully see you all for a Mineral Water soon!

Please donate what you can.

Very much appreciated.

Ps, look forward to a beer in 2018!!!
