This year I am swimming, cycling and running my first ever triathlon - Blenheim Triathlon on 1st June!

I'm raising funds for Hospice Ukraine with my friend Rachel Clarke. Rachel is a palliative care doctor in the NHS and she co-founded Hospice Ukraine after visiting the country in 2022 and 2023. Hospice Ukraine supports teams across Ukraine providing palliative care for all in need at the end of life. So far, it's partnered with two local teams - Sambir Hospice in Lviv and the Dobrubut Foundation in Kyiv.

In 2024, Hospice Ukraine is aiming to raise £50,000 to build an interactive, multimedia, teaching website to provide high quality training in palliative care to teams across Ukraine, and also support in-person education visits from UK palliative care doctors to Ukraine, plus, ultimately, annual educational visits from Ukrainian doctors to the UK.

Anything you can spare for this fundraiser would be hugely appreciated - because we all deserve comfort and dignity at the end of life, no matter where we live.

Thank you!
