It’s been almost 5 years since I started fundraising for Children’s Hospice South West, and have just reached my £5,000 milestone (most recent total is £5,528.44)! As you can see from the photo, I was quite young (that explains the silly look!) when I started. I have visited one of the hospices – the one near Bristol – twice and it has never failed to impress me. It’s amazing how such a fundamentally sad place is kept very cheerful and homely, despite all of the specialised equipment. Just before Christmas I did another collection outside the local farm shop and raised £245.20, bringing my total for 2011 to over £1,000. Now I need to start planning my fundraising for 2012!
