Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page

In January 2009 my daughter, Hannah Louise Fisher, was murdered, at the age of 21, by her ex-partner in Leicester.

She was in her final year at De Montfort University, studying Forensic Science. Despite her death Hannah was awarded her Batchelor of Science degree (aegrotat) due to the high quality of her work.

Hannah was the victim of a gradually increasing level of domestic abuse at the hands of her partner over a 7 month period. When this turned to physical abuse, she left him ..... we all thought she was safe ......

This year, in Hannah's memory, her family are raising funds for the domestic violence charity Refuge. We want to raise awareness of domestic violence and where victims and their families can go to get help and support.

This fundraising will culminate in my Grand Canyon Trek in September 2011. I will descend 1645m into Havasu Canyon, spending 3 days hiking for 6 - 8 hrs per day before ascending back to the canyons rim. This is not just a walk; it will be a demanding trek.

I will be paying all of my costs for the complete trip - so you can be assured that whatever you can donate will go straight to Refuge.

If you don't feel able to donate at this time please pass the details on to freinds, family and/or colleagues. For more information you can email me on inhannahsmemory@btinternet.com OR write to me at: - In Hannah's Memory, PO Box 3722, Swindon. SN4 4BA. Cheques to that address can be made payable to 'Refuge'
