Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I will be abseiling down Harlow Water Tower to raise money to fund the Bishop's Stortford Pilgrimage to Lourdes.
Across is a charity created specifically to provide transport and support to enable those with special care needs to go on pilgrimages to Lourdes.
People who are sick and disabled (whom we call VIPs) are taken to Lourdes, accompanied by a doctor, nurses, a priest and helpers by Jumbulance: a unique vehicle with ambulance status, specially constructed to carry our VIPs.
Priority is given to those with a terminal illness, those with progressive diseases and those whose medical conditions make it impossible or impractical to use conventional means of transport.
Across aims to enable the pilgrims to participate in a spiritual experience, while also enjoying holiday activities and the company of others in changed surroundings.
