Next March (2025) I will be climbing the tallest free-standing mountain in the world, Mount Kilimanjaro. In January I fly to Tanzania for 8 weeks volunteering in a nursery, then at the end of my volunteering trip I will start my hike. This takes 7 days to complete and at the highest point I will be at 19,341 feet above sea level. I will be doing this to raise money for a charity that is so important to my family. Shooting Stars is a charity that has given so much to my family which is why it is so important to me to give something back. My cousin Gwen has been supported by Shooting Stars since she was 10 months old and not only have they supported Gwen but also my Aunty and Uncle too. I know just how important they are to us and how excited Gwen gets when she can go to Shooting Stars. Please donate anything you can as every penny matters to this incredible charity.

Shooting Star Children's Hospices cares for babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families across Surrey and London.

Whether lives are measured in days, weeks, months or years, we are here to make every moment count. We support families from diagnosis to end of life and throughout bereavement with a range of nursing, practical, emotional and medical care.
