I didn’t know what a hospice was until my friend’s daddy and his family sadly needed them during the covid lockdown.  I found out about all the amazing people that work there.    

Woking & Sam Beare Hospice has  been looking after the local community for 25 years, please help me to help them raise £25k so they can continue to offer this valuable service to our loved ones for many more years to come. I have set a target of £2,500 towards this bigger goal   

The hospice not only provides end of life care (which they so wonderfully did for a family friend of ours during the Covid lockdown period); they also do a huge  amount of work in the community. Allowing many many people to be cared for at home, and providing support not only to individuals but to their carers.   It is a really tricky time financially for lots of people, with costs rising all the time .  Organisations like Woking Hospice rely on fundraising support  to help them to continue to help the community .  You never know when you might need their help, like my friends did when their daddy sadly passed away when they were only 11 years old.  

I want to do something which will make a difference, and I thought what better way to do that than to take the 25th anniversary as a theme for my fundraising.  For those who don’t know, I am 13 years old and so my challenges will be done in between school work, homework and other commitments. 

I am going to take on 25 different challenges over the next three months or so, to try to raise as much as I can for the hospice.  

My challenges are: 

    ◦    25 day exercise challenge (25 sit ups, 25 press ups, 25 squats per day)
    ◦    Cake sale
    ◦    Run 2.5km
    ◦    Read consecutively for 25 days
