Tim Ellis is raising money for Julia's House

Pensioners Paddle 400 · 31 May 2022

No parent expects to live longer than their child, but for many of the families we support, this is a reality. Julia's House, the Dorset & Wiltshire Children's Hospice charity provides frequent respite care for children and support for their families at home, in the community and at our hospice.

Story

Eddie & I plan to Kayak the 400 mile South Coast, Lands End to Thames Estuary, over 11 days from 6th May 2022.  This will be the longest paddle of our lives, covering 40 miles daily in 10 hrs.  being 66 & 65 yrs old we know that following our 6 months training we will be stretched.  

We are taking on this challenge because we want to help families facing unimaginable heartbreak - the knowledge that their child may not live into adulthood. Julia’s House provides care for children with life-limited or life-threatening conditions to give their parents a much-needed break. Amazingly, Julia’s House has to raise 95 per cent of the money it needs each year to run this vital service which is why we have chosen to support them. Your kind sponsorship will make a life-changing difference to these children & their families.

Please help us reach our £4000 target for them
