My Story

I'm walking the full length of Hadrian's Wall from the 17th - 21st September 2012 for Hope House Children's Hospices because of their inspirational work and dedication.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my page.

I am walking in memory of my mum who died of cancer 20 years ago. Not a day goes by that we don't miss her. She lived for children and was a children's nurse in Manchester and then later on in Wrexham. She was a special person and so the money raised would be great to go to a very special place indeed, Hope House Children's Hospice in Oswestry, Shropshire.

The work they do there is inspirational. They care for terminally ill children and their families.
" When a parent is told their child will not live to be an adult it is the start of an agonising journey. A childhood terminal illness challenges every belief, emotion and dream a parent may have for their special son or daughter.

Hope House Children’s Hospices – Hope House in Oswestry and Ty Gobaith in Conwy – provide practical and emotional support to families facing the pain of losing their precious child.

It costs over £4 million a year to run both hospices which rely almost entirely upon donations as well as many generous individuals who fundraise on our behalf by organising fantastic fundraising events across the regions."
