I became a volunteer for the Hospice a few years ago when they took wonderful care of my friend Joan when she had pancreatic cancer.

I am really looking forward to this trek to raise funds for such a fantastic place.

I will be paying my own travel expenses etc so every penny donated will go to the Hospice to continue their great work.

Every year they care for nearly 3,000 people with a life-limiting illness and their carers, family and friends. They support the whole family as well as the patient at what can be a very difficult time. All their care is provided free of charge.

To quote Dame Cicely Saunders, a pioneer in palliative care,

“You matter because you are you and you matter to the last moment of your life”.

Thank you very much for any support you can give.
