As you know I work for this fabulous charity, I'm now in my 16th year and still love what I do and why I do it! This 26 mile undulating walk from Salisbury Cathedral to Winchester Cathedral, whilst undeniably beautiful, is a real challenge for me - physically and mentally - but I'm doing it because I can, whilst others can't.

Bryony is my partner in all of this, a pro walker with the longest legs in the world (compared to mine anyway)! Without her enthusiasm, bossiness and encouragement I would've picked jumping out of a plane as an easier option - no training required!

If you can spare the odd £1 or two it would be really appreciated - we know times are tough and that the £ in your pocket has to stretch further than ever before. 

Thank you for reading, and if you have donated please know that you will be helping a baby, child or a young person, along with their families, through the good days, difficult days and last days.

Big love and thank you!

Karen and Bryony

Naomi House & Jacksplace are hospices for children and young adults with life-limiting conditions and life-threatening conditions. 

The charity provides care to people living in communities across the seven counties of central southern England.

The charity has two specialist units: Naomi House for children, and Jacksplace for teenagers and young adults. Each unit offers an appropriate environment for each age group. Services offered include respite care, emergency care, end-of-life care, and ongoing bereavement support.

We seek to raise £7.2 million to run the two units each year, with less than 10% of income coming from the Government and other statutory bodies. As a result, we rely on the generosity of people in the community like yourself to continue its work. Your support enables the charity to provide these crucial care services, free of charge, to children, young adults, and their families, so thank you!
