By walking Hadrians Wall in maximum 5 days, I am trying to raise some money to be split equally between St Barnabas Hospice - Wellbeing and the Pilgrim Hospital Accident and Emergency department.

After the loss of my son in 2021 St Baranabas were instrumental in putting me back together after a breakdown. This was achieved through their group counselling and is a valuable and vital lifeline for many. What hit home for me was being able to talk about my grief with people who had suffered similar in a safe, open and supported environment.

I was aiming to complete this walk some months ago but injured myself when passing out when exiting my loft. As the result of this I spent almost a day in AnE. I was horrified at the poor quality of some of the equipment. I would like to make a donation for something like a working spinal board.
