Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. As many of you know the written word is not my strong point but would like to give you a little reason as to why I and my partner Polina are doing this. You often hear how much Marie Curie and other palliative care charities do for patient in the last remaining weeks & months of there lives. My family, myself and Polina recently saw first hand, not just how much they do for the patients but the families & friends as well. We were told that it costs £20 an hour to have some one on site and caring for a patients, this is the best £20 we have ever seen spent. Polina and I are not only raising the money for my mum but also to repay all the time and effort that was offered to us and my family in the last remaining months of my mum's life. So please donate as much or little as it all counts. 

We will be climbing Mt Kilimanjaro that will take 8 day's to summit the roof of Africa, with 6 - 8 hours walking a day with the final day being between 12 - 14 hours! So any of you that have any advice to assist us in doing this then please let me know. Again than you for taking your time to read this and donating. We will keep you updated with our progress and training.

Thank you so much
