WE MADE IT! The picture above shows us arriving at Salisbury Cathedral along with the High Sheriff of Wiltshire who, despite having only recently undergone a knee operation, showed a huge amount of form and grit in joining us for the second half of the walk.
Huge thanks to all of you who contributed to this great charity - we are eternally grateful. P&C
We will be walking a marathon from Winchester Cathedral to Salisbury Cathedral on 12th September to support the great work going on at Naomi House and Jacksplace. Alongside our equally elderly dogs, we have been training hard through the not so Great British Summer - moods varying depending on sugar levels!!
For more info on Naomi House & Jacksplace please read on - even the smallest donation will be hugely welcome.
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!
