Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We all get old, and as we do, generally, we need help from others to continue our daily routines. If however a serious or terminal illness develops, that help is even more important.

Harris HospisCare aims to improve the quality of life of patients by providing specialist palliative care, supporting families and carers and working in a training capacity with local health care professionals to improve end of life care for all.

When someone is very ill, everyone in the family is affected.  Harris HospisCare  extends care  beyond the treatment of physical symptoms to consider the emotional, psychological, spiritual and social needs of our patients, their families, children, friends and carers.

Currently, only 40% of Harris HospisCare funding requirements are met by the NHS and the rest is raised through fund raising events and donations.

This is where I come in.

I have decided to risk life and limb by throwing myself off of Guys Tower in London. I will have a thin rope and a harness and the idea is to abseil gracefully down 34 floors (approx 460ft). Obviously this is dangerous and slightly terrifying so I need your help and encouragement in the form of monetary donations.

I am aiming to raise £300 for Harris HospisCare so please dig deep and sponser me as much as you can
