Some of you may know I am approaching a big birthday later this year and thought it might be a good time to set myself a personal challenge and do something good for charity in the process.

In my old age I have become gradually more scared of heights so what better way to challenge myself than by abseiling 90ft down the cathedral in the city I grew up in! It’s also in memory of my dad who was always brave and is very missed. Really appreciate your support. Here’s a bit more about Myton Hospice and the challenge for your info below:

I'm taking on The Myton Hospices Coventry Cathedral Abseil to help them raise £35,000! This will help ensure The Myton Hospices can continue to provide its services free of charge to people with a terminal or life limiting illness, and their families, when they need us most.This year they have to raise £7.8 million of the £10.5 million they need and cant do it without support from people like me and you. To reach their target of £35,000 they rely entirely on sponsorship. Have a look at the difference the money you raise will make: £50 covers the cost of two hours specialist nursing care£175 is the upkeep cost of our relatives accommodation for a week £460 will fund an inpatient bed for one day£2,000 would buy a patient specific recliner chair to enable patients to spend time out of bed. Thank you so much!
