Dawn’s mum is the inspiration behind her fundraising

Dawn’s mum, Joyce, died in March. The mum and daughter are pictured here taking part in last year’s Venus midnight walk for St Michael’s.

“Mum thought very highly of St Michael’s Hospice, and did many fundraising events,” said Dawn.

“Last year, she did the Venus 15K walk.

“She was a woman who had a glass half full, and enjoyed life to the full.

“I have decided to do the Conquer the Great Wall of China walk in her name as she had done this very walk approximately 12 years ago, and I will feel like I will be walking in her steps.”

BBQ Garden Party – Sunday 13th July

As part of Dawn’s fundraising for the trek, she is holding a BBQ garden party with live music on Sunday, 13th July, from 2-7pm.

Tickets cost £25 to include a glass of Pimms (or soft drink), plus a BBQ and pudding.

There will also be a raffle, with prizes including a hamper donated by Porsche (Tewkesbury), Spa day for 2 at Holmer Park, Courtyard cinema tickets, and more.

Live music will be provided by the Whiskey River Duo.
