Geoff sadly passed away far too early. Marie Curie gave him such wonderful palliative care and the Redpoint Youth Team and parents, plus members of Geoff’s family want to repay their help and care whilst Geoff was ill. Geoff always had time and dedication to help develop all the young climbers at Redpoint, passing on his knowledge and expertise to help them.

Geoff was known as the Giraffe because of his slender frame, so we wanted to do a challenge that is personalised for Geoff but also very hard. Giraffes grow to 5.5m high, so we are going to climb 1mm Giraffe- 1m Redpoint Wall. This means that we will climb 5500m, or some 458 routes, a very challenging target and one that we hope Geoff would be impressed by!

Thank you for donation to this wonderful and worthwhile charity.

Our Solihull Hospice has been caring for local people since 1965.

Its a warm and welcoming place where we give expert care to people with a terminal illness, and their loved ones, every day of the year.

Our hospice team includes doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, social workers and many more, and is supported by over 200 volunteers who play a vital role in the running of the hospice.

We have a 24-bed in-patient unit, where relatives and friends can visit any time of the day or night, and stay with their loved ones if they wish.

Our out-patient unit offers clinics, therapies and group sessions and freshly cooked lunches made by our chefs. We also support carers and families, including children, with practical advice, counselling and bereavement support groups.

We need to raise £9,600 per day to run the hospice, so every penny counts. Thank you for helping to make sure more people with a terminal illness in Solihull get the care and support they need.
