Thank you for taking the time to visit my Just Giving page.

I am looking to raise funds for this very deserving charity whom give the most wonderful care to their patients. So far this year they have cared for two people very close to my heart my step dad and my mum.

In February this year my step dad was admitted to the hospice following a 3 year battle with Prostate Cancer, whom suddenly took a turn for the worse after getting an infection. He was admitted on Friday 2 February however he passed away within an hour of arriving at the hospice. The staff were amazing and stayed with him until the end.

Then on Sunday 22 April my mum, who has stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer, was admitted to the hospice, to try and get her pain management under control and ended up staying there for just over 7 weeks, until she was able to come home with me to care for her. Once again I cannot fault the staff and the amazing work they do.

My mum is certainly a character and was apparently was the strongest patient in the hospice, pottering about helping other patients....probably because she is so stubborn and refuses to give up. She entertains the staff and other patients and recently had a wonderful day celebrating the Royal Wedding. We decorated the beds with bunting and flags, followed by a selection of homemade cakes for all. Its such a wonderful atmosphere at the hospice and I can't wish for a better place for my mum to have stayed.

When the time comes for mum to be readmitted for end of life care I know they will provide the best care available.

If you are able to donate a couple of pounds it would be appreciated as they are a charity and only get partial funding through the government to keep this amazing place running.

Thank you in advance
