Story

In January 2024, I am trekking to the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Kilimanjaro is the highest freestanding mountain in the world! I am doing this in memory of my brother James, who loved a good physical challenge! 

The kindness and compassion shown to James and all of our family in the 4 weeks that he spent in Willen Hospice was remarkable. They went out of their way to do everything they could to make James' last days comfortable and for this we will be forever grateful.

Willen Hospice's care touches thousands of local people every year. They give comfort, ease pain and reduce anxiety for patients and their loved ones. Every pound given makes a difference - as it enables them to do more for more people across Milton Keynes when and where they are needed.

Willen Hospice receive less than a quarter of their funding from the NHS, which means the rest is donated or fundraised for by amazing local people. Which is why your support is so important and so appreciated – thank you.
