Raymond here, over the next 10 weeks I will be putting my fast feet to the test by taking part in training for the 'Strictly Goes Country' competition to help raise vital funds for Southern Area Hospice Services.

I am delighted to be taking part in Strictly Goes Country and the chance to learn new skills and meet new people that will also contribute towards raising vital funds for Southern Area Hospice Services. We all have a special reason why the Hospice Charity is close to our hearts, from the wonderful staff and peaceful surroundings it offers our loved ones and it will be a great pleasure of mine to work hard, train and get up on the stage and take part in something that is going to make a difference - and to do that, i'm going to need a little help from my friends - So please help me in my journey to make that difference by sponsoring me and donating what you can to the The Southern Area Hospice services.

I invite you to keep up to speed with my progress in training and help me to spread, share and invite your friends and family to my page in order to help me reach my target! ALL proceeds go to Southern Area Hospice and donations can be made through my Just Giving Page.

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. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
