My story

It will be 10 years this year that my Mum died from cancer. She would have been 70. To celebrate her life and commemorate her passing, my Dad, my brother, Kate and myself will be going desert! In collaboration with Beaumond House Community Hospice, we will be trekking across the Sahara. 10 days; 8 hours walking a day; searing heat; soft sand; camels!

Beaumond House helped us get through the hardest moment of our lives. Now we want to give something back. Please donate generously so that Beaumond House can continue doing their wonderful work, as they did for my Mum in her last days.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now. Thank you very much.

Rich and Kate
