I'm taking to the skies and braving a 12,000 ft skydive for Pilgrims Hospices!

By sponsoring my challenge, you'll be helping Pilgrims Hospices to be there for the next family who need their specialist end-of-life care.

This year marks 10 years since losing my best friend after her battle with Cancer. My mum was the strongest and most caring person I will ever meet and it is a privilege to be her daughter. During the end stages of her life, my mum moved into the care of Pilgrims Hospice in Canterbury where she was provided end of life care. Throughout this time, my mum was provided with incredible support from the carers and volunteers at Pilgrims Hospice which made the horrible time somewhat easier for her. The carers and volunteer’s assisted myself and my family in more ways that one, and the services they provided my mum was incredible. For this reason, I am doing a sponsored Skydrive for Pilgrims Hospice in memory of my mum and all other life’s taken too soon whilst in the care of Pilgrims Hospice. I am doing this as a Thank you to Pilgrim Hospice and to ensure that they can continue their support for more families to come.

Thank you!
