Story

Thank You!  I can't work out how to thank you all individually but I really REALLY appreciate every single donation. I know everyone is under financial pressure at the moment and there are so many worthy causes that need our support. So thank you so much for your support.  

Three years ago, Greta and I signed up to walk across the Sahara to raise money for St Catherine’s Hospice in Crawley. We trained, we raised money, and then just as we were due to leave, we went into lockdown. 

St Catherine's now needs our support more than ever before in order to continue to provide vital end-of-life care. So we have dusted off our hiking boots, packed G's GCSE revision books and are heading to the Sahara at last. If you can spare a few pennies to help support this amazing cause we will happily tolerate blisters, sand burn, and the odd bite by a nasty critter as we head into the unknown. Lawrence of Arabia eat your heart out, here comes Lucy of the Sahara. 

Thank you.
