WE ARE TREKKING THE DESERT FOR QUEENSCOURT!!! 

This November we will trek through Petra and the Wadi Rum desert in Jordan on foot, camp out in the open and forego everyday luxuries to raise money for Queenscourt. We will walk up to 8 hours per day for 6 consecutive days in temperatures as high as 35 degrees passing through sand dunes, rocky corridors, deep canyons and stone stairs. At night, we will sleep in tents alongside desert scorpions, vipers and other critters.

SHORNA WARREN (Doctor)

2022 marks my 10 year anniversary working as a Specialty Palliative Medicine Doctor in Queenscourt. I love my work, supporting patients and their families, and feel extremely privileged in my role. I want to raise money to allow Queenscourt to continue providing the support needed to enable patients who are living with life limiting disease achieve their best possible quality of life.

KRISTINA ACKERS (Ward Sister)

I want to do this trek for a few reasons: Firstly, to remember all the patients and families we have looked after; the times we have laughed and cried together with them and those who are important to them. Secondly, I want to do it for myself - I know it’s selfish, but I want to push through the hardship and prove that I can do it. And the biggest privilege is doing it with amazing doctor Shorna and always helpful Ali. What else can I ask for? Maybe just your support for our mission.  Thank you.

ALISON FOSSARD (PA to Dr Groves)

I and other unseen staff working in administration, are often the first contact patients and their families have with Queenscourt. I feel privileged to work at Queenscourt, supporting patients and families through that initial contact, and feel so proud of the work #teamqueenscourt does, which we can continue to do with your support.

Just to note, every penny raised will go directly to Queenscourt Hospice as we are fully funding this trek ourselves.
