My story

I am trekking to Everest Base Camp in March 2010 to raise money for Woking Hospice. My family and I have had 1st hand connections with the Hospice when my lovely mother Anna, spent some time there last summer before she very sadly died. The help, care and support given not only to my mother, but also to my father, sisters and myself was amazing, the staff who work there really opened our eyes to another area of life we previously had no real knowledge of. It takes around £7,123 per day to cover the elements of care including people staying in the hospice, day care and in the wider community which the hospice serves and somehow, with all that pressure, the atmosphere is still intimate, warm, caring and friendly! To do the trek I will be away for just under 3 weeks, missing my gorgeous son terribly and giving up every hope of my usual creature comforts (namely wine and a hairdryer)! I am completely aware of how tough it is going to be but am determined to give it my best shot! I would be so grateful if you would make a donation, also adding a comment (rude or otherwise) as I will print these off before I start the trek and hopefully they will spur me on when emotions and tiredness get in the way! Many many thanks in advance, Jo
