This September, I'm taking part in Steptember to raise money for Bolton Hospice - a charity that holds a very special place in my heart.

When my husband Peter was nearing the end of his life, Bolton Hospice cared for him with such compassion, dignity and kindness. They supported not only him, but all of us, during what was the most difficult of times. Their care was truly exemplary, and something I will always be incredibly grateful for.

So this September, I'm putting my feet to good use and taking on the challenge of walking 10,000 steps a day to help raise money for the hospice and the amazing work they continue to do for local families.
