My story with Weldmar started back in 1999 when my best friend Sara aged only 27 spent her final days there being cared for. The care didn't stop there it was also given to her family and friends. I am now very privileged to work for Weldmar in the Hospice for the past 2 years. I see first hand on a daily basis all the hard work , love and support that is given to all who enter the hospice. This is my second fundraising adventure for Weldmar, as in 2022 I took part in the Sahara Trek.

Weldmar Hospicecare provides specialist care for adults in Dorset with a life limiting illness, and support for their loved ones. All of our care is provided for free, and we need to raise £18,000 every day to continue providing all of our services. This includes care at home from Weldmar Community Nurses and Weldmar at Home, our Inpatient Unit in Dorchester, counselling and bereavement support, social workers, physiotherapy and occupational therapy, and so much more. These amazing people are taking on a challenging twelve day trip across the towering mountains, verdant grasslands and exot rainforests of the incredible island of Madagascar to support Weldmar Hospicecare - thank you for supporting them!
