As many of you may already know, I have been involved in previous events that have helped raise funds for the wonderful Halton Haven Hospice. This just comes as another exciting opportunity to get stuck in and help raise more money that is much needed for the team at Halton Haven to continue their fantastic work.

By taking on this Arctic survival challenge vital funds will be raised to support the essential, end of life care that Halton Haven Hospice gives to those who need it in our local community, and provide support for their families through very difficult times.

Being a lover of the outdoors and having previously raised funds for this amazing facility - this challenge is so fitting for me to be tested in the remote outdoors, in tough conditions - doing something I love, that will raise funds to ensure a secure future for the hospice.
