<p>Hi everyone,</p> <p>As i'm sure you've guessed by now I will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro on January 19th 2012 to raise money for Hoylake Cottage.</p> <p>&nbsp;Hoylake Cottage provides 24 hour nursing, day care and respite to the elderly and those suffering with dementia.</p> <p>I'm not exactly a climbing kind of girl&nbsp;(I live in a bungalow and won't leave home without my hair straighteners!) but after meeting some of the residents and staff I realised that things like that didn't matter anymore in comparison to&nbsp;how important Hoylake Cottage is to families across Wirral. I really wanted to do something to help. Next thing you know I'm registered, deemed medically fit and the fundraising began!</p> <p>So far I have raised just over &pound;1200 leaving &pound;2800 to go. The next event planned is a Bikini Car and Bike Wash on July 30th from 12 noon&nbsp;at The Shippons in Irby Wirral so bring your cars, bikes, vans, lorries... you name it and we'll clean it!</p> <p>Thankyou to everyone who has already donated, it really does mean the world to me. I hope that with the combined efforts of the staff, volunteers and&nbsp;fundraisers that Hoylake Cottage's doors will still be open in 100 years time.</p> <p>Thankyou all so much. Steph x&nbsp; P.s Dig Deep!!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
