Raising money for

St Barnabas Hospice Trust (Lincolnshire)

Charity Registration No. 1053814

St Barnabas Hospice cares for people in Lincolnshire who are living with a life threatening illness. St Barnabas offers the patient and their families hospice care, day care, a Hospice at Home service as well as a range of other vital services such as physiotherapy. All these services are FREE. Across the county we offer professional nursing care with our Hospice at Home, day and night time services. Day care is provided at our five Day Hospices, situated in Sutton on Sea, Boston, Gainsborough, Spalding and Lincoln. In-patient care is available at the Lincoln Hospice. As a local charity we need to raise £2.2 million each year to continue the care and support we provide. All donations received and money raised helps to continue, improve and extend the local St Barnabas Hospice services

My story

UPDATE!!!

We have now completed the challenge!! It was complete agony but all 3 of us successfully completed the Coast to Coast in a total of 56 hours!! We would love to get to a total of £1500 approximately before handing a big cheque over to St B's - so if you haven't sponsored us yet then please dig deep!!!

We are three young fellas from Lincoln, Chris Carr, Neil Bristow and Steve Davidson. We decided to do something adventurous and something that would be a challenge.. we planned out to do a hike from coast to coast of England, namely from Gretna Green to Whitley Bay - which is 80 miles and will take in 3 days of hiking on the 21st, 22nd, 23rd of August 2008!!

None of us are fit although we are getting there slowly but surely! We have been training on mountains around the UK and hopefully will be in a fit enough state to not collapse halfway through!

We decided on St Barnabas Hospice as the charity we would like to do this for as my wife's Step-Father was a patron of St Barnabas Hospice in 2007 before he passed away. They do an amazing job and they deserve every single penny!

It was also important that we raise money for a local charity, since we are all Lincoln folk!

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: St Barnabas Hospice Trust (Lincolnshire) 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.
