Story

Serving as CEO of Weston Hospicecare has been the privilege and highlight of my working life. If you don't already have a good sense of what a hospice does, do watch this short film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX_BdTYAccs

I've previously walked the Mendip Challenge 10 miles, and it was pretty tiring. Now, I will attempt the 30 miles route.

Anyone who knows my medical history, and how much metal is inside my body (yes, I have a lot of fun at airports) will know this is going to be a real stretch for me.

Getting to the finish line feels about 50/50 at this stage, and I will certainly do my best. However hard it is, it won't require as much determination, forbearance and dignity as shown by our patients each and every day. I will be walking in memory of everyone we have cared for during my time with the hospice.

Thank you for supporting us! x
