Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.


I am walking 15 miles on Monday 3 May to raise money for Greenwich & Bexley Cottage Hospice. 15 miles. Up hills, through woods and stuff.


I haven't done anything like this for 3 years for various reasons, since I did the Half Moon half marathon for Breast Cancer in fact. The training is good and I have managed to listen to the Harry Potter Books on talking book whilst doing it - SPOILER ALERT, he dies. Not really.


In a polite version of what Bob Geldof said 'give us your flipping money' - please.


The hospice is a wonderful place funded solely by donations without a penny of central government money. It provides dignified, expert care to people in their last days as well as invaluable support to families and friends when they have a loved one admitted, and after they pass on.


Pleased help me raise lots and lots and lots of money for it - you never know what is round the corner, or when you or someone you love may need the help of such an amazing place.


Thank you very, very much.


Here is the official gumpf:
