We’re supporting St Christopher’s Hospice in memory of my late wife (and Alex’s mum) Angela Ingrey.
The compassion and care that Angela received from St Christopher’s in her final weeks was simply outstanding. Not only did they know what Angela needed in order to cope with the inevitable, but they understood what her family needed too.
St Christophers became like an additional emergency service. They were there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and were our lifeline. No call went unanswered and every promise of support was fulfilled. They made the unbearable that bit more bearable for us.
At some point in everyone’s life they will likely need assistance from a hospice either for themselves or a loved one. As well as palliative support for the individual in their final days, they recognise and support the wider family. However, this wonderful work has to be paid for and as a registered charity, the bulk of their funding comes from donations. They desperately need our support and rely on the compassion and fundraising of their local communities.
This is why we will be undertaking a 50km Sahara Desert Trek for St Christopher’s. The work St Christopher’s do is incredible and every step taken by us will be a token of our gratitude for everything St Christopher’s did for Angela.
However, it will be a challenge. Alex does not do camping and even in November, temperatures in the Sahara desert can reach 40 degrees during the day and as low as zero at night. Combine this with tough terrain of rolling sand dunes, dried up river beds and the interesting toilet facilities (!), you can understanding why this will be a hard graft for the father and daughter duo.
Thank you for your support!
