It’s a Jungle out There and this is no holiday, Help!

I am helping to raise much needed funds for Isabel Hospice by trekking 7 hours a day through the , then sleeping on a wooden platform protected by my mosquito net.  The main aim during the trek is to search for Orang-utans who are now an endangered species and those left are in need of protecting.  Our group will also be working on a community water project in a local village deep in the Rain Forest.  I shall be trying to avoid leeches, snakes and other jungle creepy crawlies. 

Some may think that this is my networking gone to far, but I think Isabel Hospice is a worthy cause benefiting patients and their families!!

 

Isabel Hospice have been providing care for local people in eastern Hertfordshire since 1982.  They offer a complete service through a team of Community Nurse Specialists, Day Hospice for up 60 patients each week, three satellite Day Hospices, Hospice at Home, Family Support Service, a 16 bed In-patient Hospice and a Bereavement Service. A fully trained team of volunteers supports the specialist medical staff in providing a warm, caring environment for patients and their families.

In 2009/10 the cost of providing these services, free, to the local community will be over £4million, and of this, £2.7million has to be raised by donations from people like us.  Of every £1 raised from this challenge, 88p will go directly to the care and support of Isabel's patients.
