Sam Ashton wanted to do something different to raise money for LOROS Hospice this year, so she has signed up to go trekking in Vietnam!
The Sunflower Trek is a charity challenge that will allow Sam to raise money for LOROS as well as experiencing the beauty and diversity of Vietnam. She will experience its natural contrasting beauty - from the patchwork of bright green rice paddies to the rugged mountains, traditional stilt houses and bustling cities.
Sam said, "I am doing this in memory of my step mother, Lyn Ashton.
"Lyn was always a strong, caring and active person and it was very hard to see what her illness did to her in such a short time. She fought a valiant battle to try and beat it, but it was so good to know she had the care she needed from LOROS when she didn't have the strength to fight it anymore.
"She was provided with care and support by the hospice during the last few months of her life and I wanted to show my appreciation to LOROS, who made her as comfortable as possible during her last few weeks."
Sam has to raise a minimum of £2480 before 24th July but is aiming to reach £5,000 before her trek in October.
