On 15th July some of the team from Alma Fitness Studio, Claudia, Claire, Lois & Megan will be taking the challenge on to complete the National 3 Peaks, Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike & Snowdon in 24 hours with Adventure Code.

We have decided to raise money as part of our challenge for a charity that is very close to all of our hearts.

Claudia's mum battled with cancer for 8 years and spent the last few weeks of her life in Marie Curie before coming home to spend her last few days at home with all her family in May 2014.

"The hospice and the care from all the staff is something I'll never forget during the most difficult time of my life.

No one can prepare you for losing a parent, especially at a young age when you need your parents the most. The last 9 years of my life have been very up and down but now I finally feel ready to give something back, and help to raise as much money as I can for an amazing hospice"

At the Marie Curie Hospice, Liverpool, we give expert care to people with a terminal illness, and their loved ones every day of the year. Our hospice team includes doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, social workers and many more, and is supported by local people who freely volunteer their time and energy to help us run the hospice.

As well as being a place where people can stay to get the expert care they need in a friendly and homely setting, we also support people visiting with clinics and therapies. These include yoga, exercise classes and relaxation. People using the day unit can also get together over a freshly cooked lunch from our chefs.

Relatives and friends can visit any time of the day or night, and stay with their loved ones if they wish to.

We need to raise £6,397 per day to run the hospice, so every penny counts. Thank you for helping to make sure more people with a terminal illness in in Liverpool, get the care and support they need.
