Wing Walk (Choose your own date) – 2024
1st January 2024
Are you brave enough? Are you a daredevil who enjoys an adrenaline rush? Would you like to take part in a challenge that does not need any level of fitness or preparation before the day? Then Wing Walking is for you!
Jo Perrin, pictured on the right, is scared of height and did a Wing Walk for the hospice. "What an experience. Difficult to put into words but what I can say is I DID IT! "
Jo raised over £1,300 in sponsorship took on this challenge because our Hospice team helped many of her friends and family in their final weeks, days and hours of life.
