Hello, 

Thank you for visiting our page! 

We have had individual sponsorship pages and already held lots of fundraising events - so far raising over £10,000 for St Luke's Cheshire Hospice!! Thank you to all our family, friends, suppliers and supporters for your donations so far! If anyone else out there want to give us a little boost, that would be so amazing!

About our Challenge:
Call us crazy, but some of us Hollies girls have signed up to an incredible challenge! 

A 50km trek across the Sahara Desert in October 2019. Sweltering heat by day (around 37 degrees!), freezing temperatures by night (around zero!), no toilets, no showers (just a pack of baby wipes!) no hair straighteners, no comfy bed – no 5-star Hollies luxury there! We’ll be scaling sand dunes whilst carrying our water and daily provisions, gaining an insight into the vast and diverse landscape of the Sahara, camping under the stars and learning all about the Berber way of life. 

Since 1988, St Luke’s has been providing palliative care to local people, supporting them in ways which go beyond the scope and funding of the NHS. Last year we supported over 1,000 local people with a huge range of support from end of life care on our ward to supporting carers, and from helping children cope with grief to helping patients return to work after an illness.We are a charity and provide all our care for free, so we rely on the generosity and commitment of our supporters to raise more than 80% of our costs.
