ALISON RAISES THOUSANDS FOR HOSPICE

Alison Reilly from the Pateley Bridge office has raised £2,596 for Martin House Hospice for Children and Young People by completing a fundraising abseil. 
 
Alison abseiled off Ripon Cathedral down a daring 115ft drop to raise money for the charity that gave invaluable care to friends who lost their baby.
 
Alison said: “Kate and Adam lost their baby last year, and they are now focusing their efforts on raising as much awareness about Martin House as possible, and I wanted to help them fundraise too. 
 
“Martin House is a fantastic charity helping families with children that have life-shortening conditions, but they also help bereaved parents like Kate and Adam.  Without the care, help, love and support given by Martin House Adam and Kate would not be in the position they are now.  They are looking to the future, whilst remembering their son every day and with ongoing bereavement counselling from Martin House they will get there. 
 
“I would like to thank all of my family, friends, colleagues and clients who were kind enough to sponsor me for this nerve-wracking but exhilarating challenge.”
