Story
I'm walking from the Mansion House to St John's Hospice 34 years after my original fundraiser.
I completed my original walk as part of a team from Doncaster Cancer Detection Trust (DCDT) as we were raising funds to build the Hospice.
I was the last person to finish as I was carrying a collection bucket and lots of people stopped me to ask me what I was fundraising for.
When I told them about the Hospice, they very generously donated their money and by the time I arrived back my bucket was full of cash and very heavy to carry!
Our seven-year fundraising campaign raised over £2 million in capital and St John’s Hospice opened in 1992, thanks to the generosity of the people of Doncaster.
What many people don’t know is that after all these years the Hospice still needs to raise over £500,000 every year, so I’m doing my walk all over again to continue to support the team there.
Thank you for choosing to support St John's Hospice Charity.
