In memory of Frank Rogers
We provide specialist care and support to people with life-shortening illnesses.

Story

I have known Frank for most of my life and following his diagnosis of pancreatic cancer his family and friends were comforted with the care and support received at his time spent in St Catherine's Hospice.  The service offered by the Hospice is so vital at such a crucial and difficult time in families lives I would like to raise funds for their ongoing support in memory of Frank, a great friend.

I am walking the distance with my work colleague and good friend Phil Mackintosh whose son Rory was diagnosed with leukemia three years ago, but he is now in a much stronger position.Phil has a separate account with JustGiving.
