Story

Bolton Hospice is an amazing facility which provides much needed care and support for local people and their families with life limiting and terminal illnesses. The hospice relies on charitable donations to keep on continuing their vital work, so every penny raised is needed and so gratefully received.

2025 will mark the 30th anniversary of my mum - Jennifer Nuttall - passing away in Bolton hospice and also in July of this year my lovely friend Rosemary Olawumi.

So….I have decided to step right out of my comfort zone and Trek the Sahara Desert in memory of those I have lost and to raise vital funds for Bolton Hospice! We will be trekking up to 50km over 4 days in temperatures of up to 35 degrees, scaling sand dunes and sleeping in tents with only camels for company! I am unbelievably excited to be taking on this challenge, as it’s something I’ve never done before.

I would be so grateful if you would donate generously to this amazing charity and support me in taking on this mammoth challenge🙏

Many thanks xx
