Hello all, please read this, it will take you 2 mins but it's really important to me. There's a great community of helpful people here, and I'm asking for a different type of help.
I'm doing a trek across Costa Rica for Marie Curie Hospice in November. It's a 8 day trek over 6 volcanoes through jungles to raise money and awareness.
My dad died of prostate cancer nearly a year ago, before he died he spent a few weeks in the hospice spending his last few days with family. Before this he was in a hospital where to get to see him I had to sneak past nurse ratchet (I'm not bashing the NHS, they do a great job, but I needed to see him and I'd missed visiting hours!) and no kids allowed. Marie Curie is different, we even sat in their gardens and had a beer together while his grandkids ran around bringing him so much joy.
They're completely charity funded, no grants or taxpayers money pays for this, and without it I feel he would have died much sooner, alone and very unhappy in a hospital ward.
It's a terrible thing to happen to a family, and I wish it on no one, but they need funding.
My proposal:
If you have any electrical work in the Yorkshire area, any job, or labouring, subcontract work etc I will do it and donate my entire fee to the charity, I'd only ask for the cost price of the materials, and a brew!
Alternative:
Here is the link to my just giving page. If you have a few pounds spare please consider donating it, it will make a difference!

Thanks for getting this far, if you have time read the just giving page, it's really important to me, and it may be to you and yours one day, who knows when it may be important to you too.
