Earl Mountbatten Hospice - Walk the Wight · 17 May 2009 ·

Mountbatten is the Isle of Wight's only hospice and is known for innovation across the UK and beyond. We provide expert medical, nursing and domiciliary end of life care and bereavement support to people in their own homes, including care homes, in our Newport building and in the local hospital.

Story

Well, we did it!!  We, along with 11,500 others, battled through the wind and rain to hobble to the finish, 26.5 miles and 11 hours later.  The wind was apparently gale force 7 - most of the time we were walking on a slant, leaning into the wind and trying not to get knocked over (bearing in mind most of the walk is across the downs and exposed on all sides).  We got soaked, dry again, then soaked some more.  Luckily, we had our waterproofs.  It was a case of head down and battle on with grim determination.

But it's all worth it, and as you can see I've raised £219.00 for the Hospice, so a huge thank you to all who donated.

Here's to next year...
