We are really looking forward to participating in the 2021 Girls' Night Out and to raising money to support the great work of St Nicholas Hospice. Lara was unwell in 2019/2020 with Henoch-Schonlein Purpura nephritis; we "shielded" together during the first lockdown last year and it is great that she is now well and we are able to do this walk together.

In gratitude for her recovery, I have pledged to match the money raised for the Hospice with donations to the institutions which supported us during Lara's illness - namely the West Suffolk Hospital Rainbow Ward, The Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds and St Edmundsbury Cathedral - to a maximum of £1000 per charity.

Please give generously!
