I am absolutely privileged to work for this wonderful charity as a fundraiser. The care and compassion that is provided from the nursing teams is incredible and is echoed by our supporters every day.

Now it is my turn to help raise the vital funds that is needed to ensure the care can continue. This is why I have decided to take part in “Walk in our Shoes” but with a twist, I aim to double the 350,000 steps in the month of September to 700,000!

That’s right, I will be aiming to walk, with Loki and Dexter, 700,000 steps this month.

If you can help with any support to this amazing charity it will be greatly appreciated, wish me luck!

Severn Hospice is with families from the moment they're referred to its care for as long as they need it, and it does this every day, all day for anyone in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and Mid Wales who needs that help.

It does this for them for free, but it is not without cost and it can't happen without you. For every £1 you donate, the hospice will spend 87p directly on care – and use the remaining 13p to make another £1.

Last year, all those individual donations meant the hospice could be there when it mattered for 3,000 local families.
