Craig takes on Kilimanjaro for the patients at the Alan Hudson Centre
Share this story
Craig Kitching is taking on the challenge of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro for a very important reason.
He wants to give back to the Alan Hudson Centre in Wisbech for caring for his Mum, Tina and his Father in Law, Tom.
Craig explained:
“My Mum had terrific support from Emma Warner, who is a Specialist Nurse. She does wonderful work in the Wisbech community as well as all the team at the Alan Hudson Centre.
My Father in Law, Tom, also visited the Centre for his Treatment and Living Well days. He enjoyed taking part in activities, including making all the family paper hedgehogs! He loved all music and enjoyed the Christmas parties that was held there for the patients.”
It is in their memory and to help all current and future patients, who are in the care of Arthur Rank Hospice Charity, that I am taking on the challenge of climbing the highest free standing mountain in the world. This grueling task will take me ten days to complete in January. This is to ensure I allow my body to acclimatise to the altitude of the mountain.”
