Starting from St. Mary’s Hospice, Ulverston at 8am on Saturday 15th June aiming to reach Eden Valley Hospice, Carlisle by 8pm the following day.

The Walk is intended to raise awareness and much needed funds to support the important services provided by the two Hospices.

My Mum / Andrew’s Grandma, Edith Rushworth, passed away at Eden Valley Hospice in 2003 and my Wife, Moira Rushworth, who is in the palliative phase of her progressive multiple sclerosis is currently receiving care from the team at St. Mary’s Hospice.

For myself, this year’s charity walk is a “sprint” after completing The Pennine Way (268 miles) for Multiple Sclerosis and Diabetes UK and Wainwright’s Pennine Journey (240 miles) for Alzheimer’s UK in 2017 & 2018 respectively, but the Hospice charities are just as dear to me having provided loving care for my Mum and currently my wife.

I hope you can donate to support the amazing work these Hospices perform.

Donations on this page will go to St.Mary’s Hospice, Ulverston. To donate to Eden Valley Hospice, Carlisle go to https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Andrew-Thompson92
