My Story

I am taking part in walking a Million steps to raise funds for the Arthur Rank Hospice Charity. The Hospice Charity supports people in Cambridgeshire living with an advanced serious illness or other life-limiting condition and those who need end-of-life care. As we know they have helped so many of our friends, family and colleagues and it's not just for end of life and cancer. They need over 12 million a year to keep it all going. 7.3 million comes from the NHS funding but they have to raise 4.79 million themselves so its true when it's said "Every penny counts".  Yes I've been inspired to do it because of the care my husband had, but as I walk in the cold and wet starting on the 8th January I will do it for YOUR loved ones and those that YOU know.
My story is " my husband David  was so well cared for last year by Arthur Rank Hospice. He spent over 17 weeks there on and off as they cared for him and tried to help him with his pain. We were lucky enough to share our last moments together at this amazing place where he died in peace and in no pain. We made lots of happy memories on the way with family and friends and all the staff and volunteers became family to us. His words on his first visit there was "Who is paying for all this?". Well we all know the answer to that! It's the fundraising that helps so much to keep this amazing place going. So if you can donate anything however small, every £1 counts as it will help others in the future and keep me going in the winter days walking those million steps.Don't forget to tick the box if you are a uk tax payer as gift aid adds 25% to the donation, 

Thank you 💕💕
