Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Let’s try this again!! (And now over 60!)

Finally we should be on the move in October 2022

As you may know I have been involved with the Ayrshire Hospice for many years.  Included in my many fundraising events are the Ayrshire Hospice Autumn Ball, my Great Wall of China Trek in 2009, Peru Trek in 2012 and Grand Canyon Trek 2018.

Having said the last twice that they were my last treks, true to my word.....  I have decided to take up one of their latest challenges and trek the Sahara Desert as part of the Ayrshire Hospice Overseas Challenges 2022.

I will be part of the group going out in October 2022 to trek deep into the Sahara Desert and spending most nights under canvas.

I am very grateful to all who have contributed by either donating or taking part in any of my previous fundraising activities.  However the Hospice depends on voluntary sources to raise £4.5m every year.  Can I ask you to please sponsor me for this challenge and support this worthwhile charity.

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.

Thanks Again
Graham

About the charity

The Ayrshire Hospice

Verified by JustGiving

RCN SC011390
Our charity cares for adults in Ayrshire and Arran with life-limiting illnesses. We help them live as actively as possible to the end of their lives, however long that may be. Hospice care is open to all. It’s free for patients but it’s not free to provide. So we need to raise over £4M each year.
