My dad was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis in 2018.  He didn’t ever talk about his prognosis or the fact it was terminal but chose to continue with his life in the hope that one day he would get better.  Sadly, coupled with Alzheimer’s he lost his battle on the 03rd January.  

My mum Nicky, sister Deb & I, along with our families miss him every single day.  He was quite simply the best dad a girl could wish for and I feel very blessed that we were all with him at the end.  

My mum worked at the Florence Nightingale Hospice within her nursing career and my sister also works in palliative care for Marie Curie.  So we are no strangers to the amazing care & work these charities do and have always been very close to our hearts.  

The Hospice of St. Francis also supported us & Dad  & we will also be raising money for them separately.

Florence Nightingale Hospice is more than a Hospice, and this is more than just a challenge. Completing 20 miles each day for 4 days will be a mental and physical push, however it's all for an amazing cause. Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity commits to raise £1million each and every year to ensure the incredible services can continue, such as the new Hospice at Home service which ensures those wishing to remain at home can do so whilst receiving the same high standard of care they would as an inpatient. Without supporters becoming part of Team Flo and taking on challenges whilst raising funds, the Hospice services just would not continue. Every penny counts so please donate what you can and cheer us on through the miles to come!
