Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am privileged to work as Director of Finance for Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People, based in Loughborough, Leicestershire. Rainbows is the only Children's Hospice in the East Midlands and does an incredible job providing palliative and end of life care to babies, children and young people from across the region as well as supporting their families through a very difficult time.

In October 2024 I will be undertaking my own personal "challenge of a lifetime" by climbing Mount Kilimanjaro (c5900m high) in Tanzania in support of Rainbows. Never having done anything like this before, I am excited and nervous about the demands of the 8 day trek and the unknown effects of altitude on my body but am determined to succeed in my climb and raise always-needed funds for this fantastic charity. You can find out more about Rainbows by visiting our website: www.rainbows.co.uk
