Story

So... the plan was for me and Becci to trek 🥾 to Basecamp 🏔️together. But unfortunately with only two and a bit months to go, Becci has picked up an injury, so for health reasons she's had to withdraw from the challenge 😔

But, your intrepid hero (me!! 🤣), will still be taking on the challenge and proudly supporting Demelza for the both of us. Becci will be my support team back home while I'm away, and keeping family and friends updated on progress.

If you're able to spare a few quid and sponsor our efforts, that would be amazing. Why do we put ourselves through these challenges? Because.....

Demelza delivers extraordinary care to extraordinary children who are facing serious or life-limiting conditions, throughout Kent, South East London and East Sussex. They’re there for them and their families with expert clinical, emotional and practical support at every step – from first diagnosis and for as long as they’re needed.
