Hospice Hero Lyra Webb raised an amazing £655 for City Hospice through her epic 40 Charity Challenge to help celebrate City Hospice's 40th anniversary! ⭐ Over 4 action-packed weeks, Lyra tackled challenges that included covering 40km in one week, scoring 40 penalty shootouts, holding a 40-minute silence, and planking for 40 seconds with her dance class. Her personal highlight was the 40 food challenge, where she taste-tested different foods whilst blindfolded👏 Lyra’s family couldn't be prouder of her incredible efforts. With this latest achievement, she’s now raised an amazing £2,000 for City Hospice! We’re so grateful to Lyra for always bringing her enthusiasm in wanting to raise as much money as possible whilst tackling unique challenges. Thank you, Lyra! 💜 Read more here: https://bit.ly/3VnUD06
