Story

In October 2013 i am trekking in the Sahara Desert covering over 125km in 5 days. I have chosen The Prince of Wales Hospice in Pontefract as my chosen charity.

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.

We all know a close relative or friend who has been supported by the hospice, this is why I will be supporting them.

We are very grateful to Rogerthorpe Manor Hotel who are funding this trip and ensuring that we can raise as much money as possible by also using their online profile.
