Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page in aid of the Princess Alice Hospice 25th Anniversary MIDNIGHT WALK. For me, it was a last minute decision to take part - because I only heard about it a matter of days before the event. So I need to do some quick catching up to drum up the necessary supporting generosity that will help propel me 9 miles through the darkness [...actually it starts at 10pm - but I reckon I'll still be walking at midnight.]

I'll be just a very small part of the effort to raise £140,000 - summed up as "One night for one Week". That's what it costs to keep the hospice running per week. It's a facility that none of us would expect (or wish) to need in future - but which does such amazing work for those who do find themselves in that position.

Princess Alice Hospice relies entirely on donations to keep going. This is your invitation to make a contribution, if you can, to that cause. If you are able to help, please don't forget the Gift Aid ! And that £100 target....it's a quick 'for instance', not a maximum figure...so please don't hold back if the pledges push beyond that figure. Thank you.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
