Julie is taking on a year of fundraising for Bolton Hospice - this is her story 💜

In 2023 Julie's husband, Stuart, was diagnosed with pe**le cancer. He underwent several surgeries and was given the ‘all clear’ in March 2024 but just five months later, a routine scan revealed the cancer was incurable. Stuart was admitted to Bolton Hospice in May 2025.

“During Stuart's time at the hospice, staff arranged support that let us to go on one final Father's Day trip to North Wales. Stuart and I were also due to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary but when it became clear that he wouldn’t make to that date the hospice arranged one last date night. Those memories will always be treasured.” - Julie

On the first anniversary of Stuart's death, Julie embarked on her fundraising journey. From sponsored walks to bake sales, Julie's year of fundraising will conclude in September 2027 when she joins other hospice supporters to Trek the Great Wall of China. Julie is self-funding her trek trip costs, any donations will go directly towards Bolton Hospice - so far she's raised £4373!
