Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am so grateful to you for supporting me on my big challenge to reach Machu Picchu for The Ayrshire Hospice. Our Hospice is a compassionate, experienced source of outstanding quallity care and services which helps people with life limiting illness and their families get the most out of life. It costs £17,000 every day of the year to keep our services going and we need to fundraise over £4 million a year. As Chief Executive of the Hospice I wanted to make a personal contribution to that target, to lead the team for the Hospice and to challenge myself in my 50th year. I am privleged to be joined on this trek by my lovely cousin Ellen, by Graeme from our fundraising dept. and Carole from our In Patient Unit. Wish us luck and thanks again.

About the charity

The Ayrshire Hospice

Our charity cares for adults in Ayrshire and Arran with life-limiting illnesses. We help them live as actively as possible to the end of their lives, however long that may be. Hospice care is open to all. It’s free for patients but it’s not free to provide. So we need to raise over £4M each year.
