Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Most of you probably know that after mum died last year we set ourselves a target, as a family, of raising £10,000 for St Leonard's Hospice.

 

So far, with what we've raised, what our brilliant friend Clare's raised plus Gift Aid, we've raised £5,450. We'd like to try and reach the £6,000 mark by the end of this year.

 

It's mum's birthday next week and Seonaid and I decided we wanted to do something a bit different to mark the occasion this year, and to do something that could help raise more vital funds for the Hospice.

We've decided to go and ride a mile-long zip wire over a quarry in Wales. Now I know that might sound like the sort of thing a lot of people would do for fun but neither of us are mad keen on this kind of thing - Seonaid gets vertigo and I've bottled out of a sky dive and two bungee jumps in the past.... I'm not really all that good with the thought of being suspended in mid-air by a piece of rope or wire! Since we booked it, a few people have very helpfully (no, really!) shared videos of other folk doing the same zip wire, which hasn't helped with the nerves much... We're both bricking it...

 

I know a lot of you have already donated and we're really grateful for your support for the Hospice – if you’re able to help in any way again it would mean an awful lot. The staff at St Leonards were a big part of us all being able to hold it together through a really difficult time and they deserve all the support they can get.

Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
