My story

 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

Why Willen Hospice?

The reasons are very simple, in August 2007 a dear friend died from pancreatic cancer after approx. 12 months of illness.  The support he received from Willen Hospice and Marie Curie staff were excellent and certainly made his life and that of his family as comfortable and easy at it could have been in those last few months and weeks.

So why Base Camp Everest?

Its the ultimate challenge and if I was going to do something like this I wanted to do it properly. Also, Everest has always held a fascination with the stories of lives lost during summit attempts and it would be cool to see the mountain.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Willen Hospice will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

For details on how the training is going please visit:

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
