Why I do this

Friday 30th May

I would like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart who has already sponsored me in this year's Rainbow Run for St Wilfrid's Hospice on the 7th June ( thank you Shelley for covering x ) a charity very close to my heart .

I am sure I don't need to tell you the difference St Wilfrid's makes to patients and loved ones .

Below is the reason I run ( well fast walk , gentle jog 😂) 

In 2010 my late husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer , in 2011 he was EOL care , sadly at the time St Wilfrid's only had small premises and couldn't care for him ,the alternative was a nursing home ( he was 46!) or the hospital neither of us wanted that .
So, for his finial 2 weeks I cared for him at home with the help and support of St Wilfrid's from 4 visits a day to someone sitting with him all night so I could sleep and rest. 

I was so grateful and hoped and prayed I would never need to call them again .

Sadly in 2021 my Mum was terminally ill with lung cancer that had spread , as I am sure everyone remembers this was during Covid with all the restrictions, my mum was spending her finial days in a hospital with no visitors and nurses stretched to their limits .

Again, St Wilfrid's stepped in, and my mum spent her finial days being cared for with them and for us as a family knowing mum did not pass away alone made such a difference in an extremely difficult time.

The reason for this back history is that recently there was an article that St Wilfrid's like many charities is struggling , the thought of someone and their families going through such a terrible ordeal without the support makes me feel sad . 
But the reality is due to cut backs this might be the case.

Any donation,  big or small would make such a difference, if you made it to the end , thank you for reading
