This year Irene Lewington will be 91 years of age and to celebrate she will be taking on both paragliding in May as well as a 540ft abseil from Broadgate Tower in September! 

Irene is a Hackney resident who has chosen to support St Joseph's as some of her friend's have received great care at the hospice and she also wants to give back to the community. 

If you could support Irene as she takes on these two new adrenaline-fuelled challenges she would be very grateful!

St Joseph’s Hospice opened in Hackney in 1905, and since then has been caring for and supporting people affected by serious illness in eight London boroughs. We work to improve the quality of life of more than 2,100 patients with life-limiting conditions each year, helping them live life to the full, to the very last. We have to raise £19,000 each day to keep our vital services running and available to the 2.2 million people in our diverse community, so every penny raised for our hospice is really important, and very much appreciated.
