Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

15 years ago I lost my Mum at St Catherine's Hospice and was amazed by the work that hospices do, and the lack of funding they receive to stay afloat. The work of a hospice is essential for many at a most difficult time for individuals and families.

More recently I lost my Father too. To pay my respects to my parents, and hopefully raise a few quid I will be walking from Scarborough to Whitby... and back again!

That's 44 miles in a day!

I am by no means at my fittest right now, so this challenge will test my limits. But the physical pain will still be no match for what those going through the emotional ordeal of losing a loved one.

Please donate whatever you can. Thank you
