Hello All
Apologies in advance if this is seen by some as a cheeky request.
As many of you know and doubtless others of you have guessed, I am a lifelong Villa fan and following the Villa's partnership with Acorns, started to do some volunteering at the hospices.
As you are probably aware, Acorns provides respite, emergency and end-of-life care for life limited children in three hospices located in Birmingham, Walsall and Worcester. A dedicated community team offers further 24 hour support to the whole family in their homes including practical and emotional support for parents, special help for siblings and bereavement counselling.
In the current economic climate fundraising is becoming more difficult and I have often helped with collections and events. Anyway in a moment of weakness, I volunteered to partake in an Arctic trek to help raise funds and thought that this would be a good forum to advertise what I am doing.
In summary, at the end of March, along with my spirited team of huskies we will partake in a 250km jaunt across the Arctic. Spending six days sledding through rolling highlands and deep forest, into the heart of Lapland experiencing temperatures dropping to minus 25.
I have funded the cost of the trip myself and every penny that I raise will go towards the good work that Acorns do, so don't worry you are not paying for me to go on a trip.
I appreciate that charity is a very personal thing and please do not feel pressured into contributing but if you would like to support Acorns, my sponsorship page can be found at:
