We are trekking through Nepal for Dorothy House Hospice Care because we want to support patients, families and carers in our community.

Story

Our group of Dorothy House heroes are taking on a twelve day trek and Hospice volunteering project. This challenge will help raise  vital funds to support local patients and their families across a community of 550,000 people across Bath and North East Somerset (BaNES) and parts of Wiltshire and Somerset. The Dorothy House Nepal Trek in 2020 isn't just about pushing yourself physically, but also giving back. On the trip they will get to help at the hospice project in Kathmandu, with much needed restoration work before the enduring the Trek. Along the way they will be staying in tea houses walking over bridges and battling with lots of steep steps in aid of Dorothy House. Lets get behind them and support their training by donating today! 

I decided to take on this challenge immediately after seeing a post one of my cousins posted, after loosing her brother to bowel cancer. Her post said this has got my name written all over it and I thought mine too!

Dorothy House provided great care, support and love to my family at the darkest time and they continue to do so. In the past few years I have seen several of my family ad friends be supported by Dorothy House during or after they have lost a love one or had  a terminal diagnosis themselves and I felt I wanted to do something to help this amazing charity. 

As you all know I am a bit of a workaholic and my dear friend Dawn always said to me Jude you work too much you have to make memories before its too late. Well this is my way of making memories and remembering all those near and dear to me while I take on a challenge to get me out of my comfort zone and to get a bit fitter again.
