I have been working at St Lukes Hospice for 22 years, first on the Inpatient unit and then as  Lymphoedema Specialist Practitioner with CCICP. The Lymphoedema service is a fabulous example of collaborative working between the Trust and  St Lukes and I am so proud to play my part, serving the people of Central & South Cheshire. I am doing the Saharan trek because this year I have been supported by the Family Suport Unit and it's my way of saying thank you.
If you feel like me that 'Bucket list experiences' shouldn't be paid for by fundraising you'll be pleased to know, I'm paying my own expenses and any money I raise will go straight to St Luke's to continue their vital work. Yes that's right I'm paying for the privilege of walking 50km across the dessert in scorching heat without any conveniences (No showers or loos!) Please consider sponsoring me to keep me going through my training and help me to support the fantastic care at St Lukes Hospice.  I know times are tough but every little helps.

More about the Trek

We are very excited to be offering the Trek Sahara for the third time! Whilst an amazing experience for our supporters, don't underestimate the challenge for those you are sponsoring! They'll be trekking in scorching heat, with no running water, so no showers or toilets for 3 days!The challenges for each individual taking on this challenge are very different but all have the same aim. To raise funds for our wonderful Hospice.
