Welcome....I have been working for BNP Paribas for many years now and decided to reignite my love for walking by attempting the "Clarendon Way", all 26 miles in a day. I walked this baby many years ago over a couple days and it's a wonderful walk...admittedly I spent a few too many hours in the "Black Boy" in Winchester afterwards so all that good was undone.
Like most I over indulged during lockdown...enjoying countless crumpets and many bars of chocolate. The opportunity arose to stretch those old bones and at the same time give something back...enough of me I ramble on...forgive the pun.
Childhood for me was an an adventure and fun, and I remain a big kid at heart...so by raising funds for Naomi House we can all bring some joy to those who deserve it most...really appreciate any support for all the teams participating and thank you for taking the time to read this page...nice and easy Jase x
Giving your time to charity is a major mood booster, volunteering or making a donation increases the activity of the brain which registers pleasure - proving that as the old adage goes, its really better to give than to receive... and puts the emphasis on the importance of generosity to all.

Naomi House & Jacksplace are hospices for children and young adults with life limiting conditions and life threatening conditions.The charity provides care to people living in communities across the seven counties of central southern England.The charity has two specialist units: Naomi House for children, and Jacksplace for teenagers and young adults. Each unit offers an appropriate environment for each age group. Services offered include respite care, emergency care, end-of-life care and ongoing bereavement support. We seek to raise £9.2 million to run the two units each year, with less than 11% of income coming from the Government and other statutory bodies. As a result, we rely on the generosity of people in the community like yourself to continue its work. Your support enables the charity to provide these crucial care services, free of charge, to children, young adults and their families, so thank you!
