About this episode

Donate here: https://www.justgiving.com/page/cailean


This spring, Cailean is putting on his bunny ears and joining his nursery friends in a very special hopping challenge—Hop for Hospice—to help raise vital funds for Thames Hospice.

Cailean is just one year old, but even at this young age, he’s taking his first steps (or hops!) toward making a difference in the lives of others. With your support, every bounce, wiggle, and hop he takes will help ensure that Thames Hospice can continue providing specialist care to those facing life-limiting illnesses in our community.


Thames Hospice offers free, compassionate, end-of-life care to individuals and families across East Berkshire and South Buckinghamshire. Their work is only possible through fundraising efforts like this one. The hospice must raise £34,000 every single day to keep their services running. That’s where Cailean—and you—come in.


If you’re able to support his hopping efforts with a donation, no matter the size, you’ll be helping to bring expert care and everyday kindness to those who need it most.


Let’s help Cailean hop big for a cause that matters. Thank you for your generosity.
