On Sunday 7th June, Tom and I will be walking the Wirral Coastal Walk in memory of my Dad, Steven McDonald.

My Dad spent his final days at Wirral Hospice St John's and we will forever be grateful for the love and care not only himself but us as a family received. They are an incredible bunch of people and made the last few days we had with Dad so special, we will never be able to thank them enough for everything they did.

I want to give back so when I saw the Wirral Coastal Walk was happening this year, I had to get involved!

The total distance on the day is approximately 20 kilometers with intermediate finishes at 6K (Leasowe Common) and 12K (Kings Gap) but we have opted for the full 12K! We will have lots of snacks to keep us going and of course my emotional support water bottle IYKYK.

More information on the hospice:

Wirral Hospice St John's provides specialist palliative care for the Wirral. It costs up to £7million a year to run the Hospice, which is at no charge to patients. This is all thanks to the loyal support and commitment of supporters who do so much to help raise funds for the charity's work.

More information is available on their website wirralhospice.org about how they spend and raise the money to help keep Wirral Hospice St John's running.
