My Story

Hi, my name is Gemma, I have volunteered and fundraised for St Elizabeth Hospice for the last 14 years. This is my second time walking the midnight walk, my first being 15 years ago. I have since volunteered almost every midnight walk.

This year a group of us will be taking part in the walk in memory of my dad Terry who passed away on the 22nd December. After a short battle with cancer. Dad’s wish was to remain at home and without the support and compassion of the amazing 24/7 One Call Team, The Hospice Community Nurses and the amazing IPU team we would not have been able to fulfil his wish to remain at home.

Anything you can donate to help us reach our goal would be great appreciated.

Thank you
