Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

My Mam, Joyce, battle with Stomach Cancer has ended, for which she fought as hard as anyone could try. Her zest for life and helping others so selflessly, never seeking or expecting anything in return, makes us all so proud.

She lived life to the full, and for many years after retiring from work she supported me as often as she could in my wool shop Ring a Rosie in Whitley Bay, making many more new friends along the way.

She was given her wish of a peaceful and dignified end to her life at Marie Curie Hospice in Newcastle. The Doctors and Staff provide the most caring and considerate support to her and our family, and would like donations to support the wonderful work they do.

Whatever you can donate will be cherished and have our heartfelt thanks.

Barbara & Family. xx.
