Next April, I’ll be joining a team of supporters to take on an incredible five-day trek along the Great Wall of China. We’ll be hiking across rugged hills and walking for hours each day - it’s going to be a huge challenge, both physically and mentally!

But every step will be worth it, because I’m doing it for the children and families cared for by Julia’s House, my local children’s hospice. Julia’s House provides specialist care for children living with life-limiting and complex conditions, helping them and their families make magical moments and lasting memories together.

The amazing nurses and carers at Julia’s House bring expert clinical care, fun, laughter and compassion into the lives of the children they support. They also give exhausted parents a vital lifeline, with the chance to take a break, rest and recharge, knowing their child is in safe, caring hands.

I am aiming to raise £3,500 to support this vital work. Please support my challenge if you can and help Julia’s House be there for families when they need it most. Together, we can make a difference in their lives.
