Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will be Walking the Wight on May the 15th to raise money for the Earl Mountbatten Hospice in memory of my father (Peter) who sadly lost his battle to cancer on the 16th of November 2015. Walk the Wight is a 26.5 mile walk across the length of the Isle of Wight, from Bembridge to The Needles.

I've chosen to Walk the Wight and raise money for this hospice as they provided dad, and my family enormous support in his last hours. Although he was with them for a relatively short period they made him comfortable and gave us the time we needed to be with him, and for this I'll be forever grateful.

I never wanted to believe that the day would come where I'd have to say goodbye to my father. To be with him at 'The End' was quite simply the hardest thing I've ever done, but to have had the support of the doctors and nurses in this hospice was amazing. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week they provide outstanding support to people in similar positions as we found ourselves in last year.

Any donations, however large or small, would be very gratefully received.

Many thanks and best wishes.
