Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Originally, this page was set up for both Naomi and Matt to raise money however due to an injury, Matt is unable to complete his challenges this year. Instead, he is aiming to do them when he is fully recovered - so watch this space.

During 2023 Naomi has set herself some challenges and would like to raise some money for Hospice at Home West Cumbria along the way (see the list below). She had a £300 target to begin with that then moved to £500 but because of your very generous donations, it's been upped it to £1000 target!
