Kathy's Sussex Hospice Trail Walk - 200 miles / 26 walks

I'm setting off on 1 July  and aiming to complete my walk by 31 July.  The  26 sections are between 3 and 11 miles and I hope to do one sections each day with a day off here and there to give my feet a rest.
I’ve been beating the drum for 25 years about how wonderful hospice care is but I hadn’t experienced until recently, how very special that care is. My husband, Jack, was able to die peacefully at home thanks to the support of St Wilfrid’s Hospice in Eastbourne and in March this year, just a couple of weeks before lockdown, my sister, Mary, died in St Helena’s Hospice in Colchester. Her pain and symptoms were controlled and her death was peaceful and just as she’d have wanted it. I can't tell you how much that meant to me.
I'm looking forward to 'beating the bounds' of Sussex. I've done a few practice walks, taken advice  and will be carrying spare batteries and a map as well as leaflets to help explain what I'm up to. I hope I won't need the blister plasters!

I am walking the Sussex Hospices Trail for FSH because our hospices need support more than ever right now
