My story

[p]I would like to say a very big thank you to everyone for your support in my fundraising for the Donna Louise. [/p][p]The main Tower to Tower challenge saw a team of 12 connected to the local area cycle, row and walk from Paris to London in just four days. Staffordshire University was well represented with Senior Lecturer, Steve Bateman and Pro Vice-Chancellor, Prof Ieuan Ellis completing the entire challenge. I joined with them for legs two and three. It was one of the hardest physical and mental challenges we have all faced. We experienced severe fatigue, aching muscles and blisters but our level of endurance was small and short-lived in comparison to what is faced by the families who use the services provided by the Donna Louise.[/p][p]On day four, we were buoyed in the knowledge that colleagues back at the University were joining us in our physical challenge, clocking up the miles on the cycling and rowing machines. Many showed their support both at the Sir Stanley Matthews Sports Centre and the Centre of Excellence in Stafford, raising almost £500. [/p][p]The Donna Louise Trust needs to raise £3 million a year to keep its hospice running and continue to support these children and their families. I am continuing my fundraising effort so please help me to help them.[/p][p]For more information about The Donna Louise Trust please visit [url=https://www.thedonnalouise.org/]https://www.thedonnalouise.org/[/url] [/p]
