Story

Mel and Brian have decided to take on a challenge and support St Catherine's Hospice.

We have many connections to the hospice and it's supported both our friends and family, so we really wanted to do something to give back.

Some of you will know Mel also works at the Hospice and seeing all the incredible work they do and knowing just how important fundraising is, we knew we wanted to do something to support them.

Any donation is welcome and no contribution is too small, a huge thank you for any donations in advance.

We will be paying our trip costs ourselves so every penny will go to St Catherine's.

St Catherine's Hospice cares for local people at the end of their lives in Surrey and Sussex, and supports those closest to them. Every step taken by our hospice heroes on their journey to Petra will help the hospice be there for local people and those close to them when life comes full circle.
