Hospice Isle of Man was founded in 1983, & since that time we have card for thousands of patients, and those that matter to them. We deliver all of our services completely free of charge. We need to fundraise over £5.5 million this year, in order to meet our anticipated £7.1 million running costs

Story

Thanks for visiting my Justgiving page.

On 31st May I will be running the Jungle Ultra in the Peruvian Rainforest, part of the Amazon Jungle. Over 5 days I will cover 230km, starting in the Andes cloudforest at 10,000ft altitude. I will descend through the cold & misty cloud forest to the Amazon basin, where i will then navigate the dense jungle & wade through croc infested rivers. As well as altitude, sweltering heat & 100% humidity, there are also the dangers of trecherous thorny vegetation, venomous snakes, spiders & scorpions, bullet ants & mosquitos. Evenings will be spent sleeping in a hammock, trying to avoid anything that bites & hiding my food from predators.

I am hoping that i can raise some money for a great cause. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
