Last month, our amazing supporter Jenny took on a 25 km hike in memory of her brother James.

 

James was a regular listener and friend to Mark and John who run the ‘100 Things we learned from film’ podcast, and with an original £300 goal they smashed their fundraising and managed to raise an incredible £1,650!

Jenny shared, “During our challenge (Ullswater Way plus Dalemain Loop 26 miles) there were laughs, tears (emotional from me) but despite my nerves we made it round! Thank you to everyone for your kind words of encouragement, your well wishes, all your very generous donations and your support. I am completely overwhelmed. Thank you to Mark Plant and John Watson. We did it! This one's for you James!”

Thank you to Jenny who has continued to support our hospice in memory of her lovely brother James, you are amazing!
