I'm going to be walking 100KM (62 Miles) of Dorset's Jurassic Coast over the course of two days and I'll be fund-raising for the Dorset based Weldmar Hospicecare.

In May 2023 my Step-Father Mark Cheffey was diagnosed with an inoperable Glioblastoma Multiforme (Stage 4 cancerous Brain Tumour). His health has seriously declined since then and he is currently being cared for at the Weldmar Hospice facility in our hometown of Dorchester.

I first visited Weldmar to see Mark on New Year's Eve. I was immediately struck by the environment of excellence and care that Weldmar provides to both patients and also their families.

With a New Year approaching I felt galvanised with a determination to do something pro-active and challenging while also doing something that could help a cause as worthy as Weldmar.

Only 20% of Weldmar's funding is provided by the NHS, the rest is made up from charitable donations. If you're able to donate even a small amount I would be enormously grateful.

Thanks for reading.

Connor.
