Mexican Jungle Challenge · 9 March 2006

Weston Hospicecare provides expert end-of-life care, free of charge, to people with life-limiting illnesses. Our goal is people can live as well as they can, for as long as they can; we help them feel like family and friends again, not just patients and carers.

Story

Hello All,

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I will be very grateful for ANY amount you can spare to sponsor me to raise money for Weston Hospicecare, your money will be used to help provide the necessary equipment and training for helping people who have serious illnesses and in some cases those who will not get better. The Hospice also helps friends and family to come to terms with what is happening, something that is especially hard for young children. You can read more about Weston Hospicecare on this page.

Right, there's a bit of an update here because no-one else decided they wanted to do the trek to Mexico. This means that I am now going to be taking part in a trek to the home of none other than that of the Dalai Lama. Of course I'll be at altitude, mostly 2,500 metres, and trekking for roughly 8 hours a day.  I'm not entirely sure how far this trek is going to be but I will find out and let you all know.

I was in the Mercury and on page 2 of the Evening Post on 30th of May.

My work colleagues are sponsoring me a total of £200 and I organised a Quiz night for them on friday 21st July which raised a further £400. My employee, Holders, is sponsoring me £250 and I have sold my moped, and quite a few shares to donate £340 of my own. Please help me with this, I'm trying to raise money for something which cannot be taken for granted and you never know if you might need help from the Hospice in the future.

 Please dig deep and give what you can. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Weston Hospicecare will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Thank you for your support.

Will
