Last year I participated in the first Skanda Vale Hospice Two Peaks Challenge and it was so much fun, so I'm determined to try it again. Together with a group of dedicated people, I will venture out on a challenging and strenuous 7-hours hike high up in the Swiss Alps covering two high peaks, a pass and a total distance of 11 km. Every step and every raised pound will help to care for the patients.

Skanda Vale Hospice offers highly individualised care to families affected by life-limiting illnesses, completely free of charge. It currently offers Day Hospice once a week and a companionship service that can be accessed from home. The in-patient respite service, offers 24-hour respite care for one week per month.
