Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After successfully completing The Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge last year, I, along with my husband and a friend, have decided to take on a new challenge: hiking Ben Nevis, the highest peak in the UK. This trek is not just about conquering a mountain; it’s about raising funds for The Excelcare Foundation, an incredible organization that supports Excelcare family team members during their times of need.

As many of you know, the Excelcare Family has been by my side during my own challenging times. Turning 40 was meant to be a celebration filled with positive experiences. However, I never anticipated being diagnosed with cancer. Thankfully, I am one of the fortunate ones who had a positive outcome. Although I remain under close monitoring, I am expected to lead a long and healthy life. Sadly, not all colleagues share this fortune; many young people are affected by cancer every day.

The Excelcare Foundation plays a vital role in supporting our team members through health or family challenges, no matter how big or small. Being there for others and giving back is incredibly important to me; it’s my way of expressing gratitude to my work family for their unwavering support when I needed it most.

I kindly ask you to donate what you can to help me complete this challenging hike on June 13th, 2026. My target is £500, and every penny raised will go directly to The Excelcare Foundation. The more funds we can gather, the more support will be available for colleagues in need.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast, and completely secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving—they will never sell them or send unwanted emails.
