New year, new challenge! This time I am aim to walk one mile a day throughout February to raise funds for our local hospice. It is a great cause and the exercise will benefit me too especially during these difficult times. I will use my fitbit to track my movement as well as my treadmill/exercise bike on days when I can't get out the house (weather, health and shielding restrictions). I am not going for record times, in fact it might take all day to complete haha but as well as raising money for Alice House, it is also a brilliant way to set a target and focus to get through the latest lockdown which is not only good for my physical health but mental health too. Any donations and support will be appreciated. 

As last time, whilst completing this challenge, those who we have lost over the years won't be far from my mind. I will be remembering my friend who spent his final days at Alice House Hospice over 10 years ago and my neighbour who we lost last year. Knowing in their final days they both received amazing care and support from the staff at Alice House was a great comfort and this is why I am completing another challenge to help raise funds so they can continue to help patients, their families and friends. Thank you for visiting, let's do this!

Alice House Hospice was founded in 1980 by local mum of four, Alice Bendle.Following a routine hospital operation doctors told her that she might die. The experience left her passionate about making sure that anybody facing a life-limiting illness would never be alone or in pain again.Her hard work and determination, and that of those involved over the past four decades, means that today we have access to hospice care 365 days a year. This costs money and you can read more about this is in the third edition of our supporter magazine at www.alicehousehospice.co.uk/home/hospice-magazine/We are priveliged to have a great team of staff and volunteers and we couldn't do this without YOUR support too!Thank You!
