Story

On 27 April we're taking on the tough Cliffhanger challenge. We'll be heading to Snowdonia to climb 175ft up a cliff in the dark then spend the rest of the night in a tent suspended from the rock face. In the morning we'll be abseiling all the way down to complete our challenge.

We've set ourselves the ambitious target of £30,000. So
please give as generously as you can!

Your donation will help make sure that seriously ill children and their families are well supported so they can focus on making every moment count.

Barbara said: “We’re doing this challenge because we’re both passionate about making sure seriously ill children and their families get the care they need. There are 49,000 babies, children and young people with life-shortening conditions and the number is rising. Nothing can prepare you for the news that your child is going to die young – and families can feel isolated and alone. Although there are some excellent services, too many families struggle to get the care and help they need.

Catriona said; “I genuinely believe that Together for Short Lives is a really good charity doing critical work and any time, effort or money spent trying to help them is really worthwhile.”

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.
