My story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. 

In a rash moment a few months ago we decided it would be a good idea to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest walkable mountain (and this was well before Radio 1 did).  After much training (on and off) the time is getting ever closer (less than six weeks away at this time of writing) and it is now time to raise some money for our chosen charity.

Vanessa volunteers for the Hospice in the Weald, and so this was the natural choice.  Every penny we raise will go straight to the charity as we have paid for everything to do with the climb ourselves.   Even a couple of pounds will go towards making someone's life a little easier at a difficult time.  

Some of you may know that Lucy's aunt (in law), Muriel, died a few months ago, having spent some weeks in her local hospice.  This really made a difference to her and her family, giving not only 24 hour care, but also treatments such as reflexology and other treatments that made her feel like a person and not just a patient. 

Please give generously.

Thank you

Lucy and Ness
