One year on....the end!


It has taken a year to complete but finally we have reached the end. Tonight Jemma, Jackie and myself presented the final cheque of £5208.25 to Diane Humphreys the John Eastwood Hospice manager. Diane and everyone involved at the hospice are over the moon with the donation and would like to thank everyone who has been kind enough to contribute. The money will hopefully enable the hospice to purchase a new special care bed and mattress and also have some left to go towards some much needed in-care room refurbishment.


Come on Jemma move out, lets see the cheque!


....that's better!


Looking back through the blog, shows what a journey we have all been on. I must say it has been a very enjoyable one (until the ride itself!). There have been many highlights, like the charity night, prize draw night, finally reaching the Eiffel Tower etc but the biggest of all has been witnessing the generosity and support of all our friends, family and even total strangers.

Thank you everyone....my mum would have been so proud.
