In memory of Emma's sister, Matilda Jaffray, we are raising funds for The Borders General Hospital's Margaret Kerr Palliative Care Unit.

Matilda was one of the keenest walkers we have ever known and her pace was always tough to keep up with. However, she would always slow down just a wee bit to let slackers (like Emma) keep up. 

We will try to set our pace to Tilda's but if we can't keep it up, we will be picturing her just up ahead of us. We will think of her throughout our walking time as we know she would have loved to join us...and perhaps she will!

Matilda was diagnosed with glioblastoma in July 2019 and bravely outlived her prognosis. Sadly, in February 2022, she passed away. 

Matilda spent her final days under the highly proficient care of the Margaret Kerr Unit. The facilities available and the highly professional staff ensured her last days were spent with family and close friends in a private, dignified, caring space.

We are raising funds for the Margaret Kerr Unit in order to ensure the facility and the staff can continue to support families in a place of safety and comfort as they experience the unimaginable sadness and hopelessness of end of days care.
