I'm taking on a 5-day Sahara desert trek in memory of two incredibly special people, my dad Kevin who passed away at just 50, and my best friends mum Loretta at 62, both taken far too soon by Cancer.

During some of the hardest moments of their lives, the care and compassion shown by the hospice teams meant everything.

Hospices rely heavily on charitable donations, and without the generosity of the public, many wouldn't be able to continue providing vital care and support. That's why I'm fundraising for the St Francis Hospice who provide life changing care that so many families desperately need.

This will be a huge mental and physical challenge, but nothing compared to the battles faced by those living with cancer.

Every donation, no matter how small will help hospices continue their incredible work and support more families through unimaginably difficult times.

Thank you for reading, supporting and helping keep the memories of our loved ones alive.
