A few weeks ago, over a bottle of Prosecco, I decided to be more of a ‘yes woman’ and to make the most of every opportunity I could. Slightly out of context (from a conversation with my manager about socialising more) this has resulted in me signing up to trek the Great Wall of China in 2016, to fundraise for Hospiscare. 

I’ve only been at Hospiscare for a short period of time, but in that time I have seen how amazing the services that Hospiscare provide are, and I feel very lucky to have a job that I love. With that in mind, I am overlooking the ‘camping’ aspect of the trip, and I am excited to undertake this challenge in an attempt to raise the vital funds needed at Hospiscare.

I will of course be preparing for the trek in many ways (apparently walking boots are on the shopping list) as well as a variety of fundraising activities in order to hit my fundraising target of £3,000. Thank you so much for your support, the money raised really will make a difference to our patients and their families.
