I have been doing it for a few years now. My younger brother has done it once before. We feel everyone deserves the best care and want to help make lives better in any way we can. Please donate if you can. Thank you.  The Hospice team make a difference to people's lives. 

You can help me raise money for this great cause by donating directly to my fundraising page

JustGiving sends your donation straight to Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice and automatically reclaims Gift Aid if you are a UK taxpayer, so your donation is worth even more.

Thank you for your support!
