Everesting Blackstone Edge on my Birthday · 14 June 2020

We support people living with a life limiting illness, & their families, helping them maintain independence & dignity. We believe everyone should have access to the best care at the end of their lives. To achieve this, our expert team work in people’s homes & at the Hospice to offer specialist care.

Story

, I was supposed to be riding in the Pyrenees this year and have been training since October!  So rather than waste the form and fitness I have decided to do something called Everesting.  This involves repeatedly climbing a hill until you have climbed 8,848 metres of ascent!  The hill I have chosen is Blackstone Edge, so I will climb it over 40 times in less than 24 hours.  

Luckily my family has been relatively untouched by COVID but I know that the hospice sector is struggling with the impact.  So any help you can give would be amazing.

Thank you for taking the first step to helping us raise the £3 million a year it costs to keep the doors of Springhill Hospice open. The services we provide are free of charge. We care for adults aged 18 and over with a life limiting illness. As well as caring for in-patients we also provide respite care, pain and symptom control, counselling for patients and family members, a day hospice for out-patients, hospice care in the home and bereavement advice. Thank you so much for your support. We could not carry on our work without you.

Postponed ride to the 21st June for training purposes!
