My story

 

So, we did it!

Jon and Liam managed to woo the town Mayor with their revealing outfits (pictures to follow) and Maurice and I were the only ones fortunate enough to find and enjoy the mulled wine post-dip.

Thank you very much for all of your donations so far, every single penny raised helped distract us from the spiky winds and ice cold water! If you have not done so already, please dig deep and donate whatever you can to this wonderful charity.

St Elizabeth's hospice provides palliative care for patients with active, progressive and advanced illnesses. It is a wonderfully run independent charity, relying on fundraising and donations to continue its valuable work.


Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: St Elizabeth Hospice (Suffolk) gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor us now!

Merry Christmas to you all, you lovely generous people!

Love from the Petch's (and Mr Liam Russell) xxxx
