In September 2022 I'm moving to Ethiopia where part of my time will be spent volunteering with a charity called Hospice Ethiopia.

Hospice Ethiopia was established in 2003 by Tsigerada YisfaWessen, an Ethiopian nurse. It is a community based, not-for-profit organization that provides palliative care to patients in their own homes, who are living with terminal diagnoses. It also fulfills a vital role in delivering palliative care training to local healthcare professionals. The hospice is run by Ephrem Abathun, and clinical care is provided by 3 full time nurses and a volunteer doctor.

They receive no funding from the government and are entirely reliant on charitable donations. All the money you donate on this page will be going directly to the charity, and as a small team with a high patient caseload, whatever you can give will go a long way!

On the 24th of August I shall be swimming the 1km between Brighton's two piers (a Herculean distance I'm sure you'll all agree). Claire will be following me closely on a paddle board, as my ever reliable support boat - ready with re-hydration salts, spare goggles and a large megaphone for blaring out motivational slogans!!

Thank you so much everyone,

Freddie
