Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After losing 8 1/2 stones in the last year I have decided to set myself the first physical challenge to not only enjoy my new lease of life but also to raise funds for such a fantasticand worthwhile cause.

St Catherine's Hospice is a charity very close to my heart and I personally know of the essential services it provides and the vital role it plays in the local community. It is also a centre of excellence for palliative care in Central Lancashire, treating over 1,300 patients a year.

In addition to inpatient care St Catherine's also helps people in their own home through Community Nurses and Day Therapy Services.

Preston Guild is every 20 years. So for this year only the annual Moonlight Walk is open to men also. I will be completing the full 13.1 miles.

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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now and help to make a real difference to patients and their families.
